Back in those days I made my living assembling and repairing those XT machines.
The motherboards were almost universally from a handful of manufacturers and
generally referred to as "Turbo Motherboard XT."
I never saw any type of daughterboard. Generally they had a switch that
selected "normal" (4.77 mhz) or "turbo" (8 or 10 or rarely 12 mhz.)
Is this message you are getting a bios message or is it from dos trying to
load? If it is bios, it is something I have never seen. If it is from dos, it
should be easy to get around it. The bios on almost all of them was either
ERSO, Award, or Phoenix.
But my memory is starting to fade after 35 years.
