Can't say too much about the power supply, but that RJ-10 connector next to the AT keyboard connector is for a Wyse (terminal) keyboard. They are nice things, usually with Cherry Black switches - and dirt-cheap as no one can use them these days. I picked one up for less than EUR 20 a while back for my Wyse 386 (which is a much weirder beast).
Ah interesting. I didn't know about the keyboards. That explains a post I found on a board from 2001 where someone explains how to make an adapter for the "wyse 4-pin connector" so you can use it as a regular AT keyboard. It's a simple cable adapter because the keyboards are in fact AT just with a weird connector. I see a trend here. 😀
I'm still looking for connector/jumper configuration info for the motherboard with little success.
Can't wait to get this motherboard and play with it. For some reason 286 systems fascinate me. They're such weird beasts all of them.
(edit) found someone on reddit who has one of these https://www.reddit.com/r/retrobattlestations/ … ibm_clone_1987/ Supposedly they have the manuals and disks for this; I sent a message, keeping my fingers crossed. 😀
I/O, I/O,
It's off to disk I go,
With a bit and a byte
And a read and a write,
