Unfortunately configuring a this board to come up as a IEEE-696 master (rather than a slave) is not a simple splice. The transfer of control has to take place sequentially and carefully. See the write-up here http://s100computers.com/My%20System%20Pages/80286%20Board/80286%20CPU%20Board.htm Go down to "Configuring the 80286 as a Bus Master with Slave/DMA controllers" for an example.
I'm really reluctant to plunk is a similar circuit without a prototype run. History has thought me "quickies" don't work. BTW remember you can bring this board up as the only CPU board in your system (i.e. it will boot as "the CPU" on power on), it's just it will not be able to transfer control to another CPU/DMA device.

It works fine as a slave, and I suspect most of us won't need to use it as a master. John's tied up with some more significant projects, and sadly I lack the sophistication to make any of these changes. It should be similar to the 8088 board - which works very nicely. - Gary On 6/18/2015 7:10 PM, G.
