I wanted to start this thread for anyone who has these processor boards from their IBM PS/2 model 8570-Axx/-Bxx series with various upgrade and whatnot.

I'll start here: I have IBM PS/2 model 8570-A61 that I bought used and use the computer until the floppy disk controller failed. I pulled the board and scanned to uploaded at Wikimedia Commons. Here is the 33 MHz math coprocessor that I got it from eBay some time ago to make it little more powerful. I successfully ran with Windows 95 along with Windows 3.11 for Workgroup.

The PS2 8570 models 061/081/121/161 all had a 386-DX20mhz cpus.
The model A21 and A16 had 386-DX25Mhz processors. The Exx models
were 386DX16's I believe, The odd one was the 8570-B21 which had a
486DX-25 processor.
