I believe that Intel only made the 486SL-25 & 33, and also had an SL series for the 386, but I think that's it.
Upgrading any machine (with some exceptions on today's Pentiums) requires that the crystel match the
speed of the processor, i.e. 25,50,75MHz=50MHz crystel, 33,66,100 (actually 99)MHz=33MHz,
20,40MHz=40MHz, etc. I have heard, however, in Play at Will, the new EZPLAY for OS/2 Warp, in the card
compatibility list of an IBM Chip Upgrade, as noted below.

 PlayAtWill (*) PC Card(**) support

 ...........blah, blah, blah.....
            

 CPU
              IBM
                ChipCard TC-100

 3.0 Trademarks

 The following terms, denoted by a double asterisk(**), are trademarks of
 o (blah, blah, blah...)

 IBM
 ThinkPad
 PlayAtWill
 PC Card Director

And that's it. I have no idea if the card still exists or which machine it's intended for, but there's the
information anyways.
