PCSG board increases PC and PC/XT speed

Library Systems Newsletter [November 1986]

Now available from the Personal Computer Support Group (PCSG) is the Breakthru 286, an expansion board that increases the throughput speed of IBM PCs and PC/XT5. The board fits into half a slot. Breakthru 286 replaces the CPU of the PC or PC/XT with an 80286 microprocessor. The 8-MHz 80286 used is faster than the 6-MHz 80286 found in the standard PC AT. Breakthru 286 also has a 16 KB of cache memory. It can cache a single byte, or an entire word, at a time. The board is priced at $595.
