I believe it has an intel 80286 at either 8 or 12 MHz. You need the
appropriate software to run it. It's called something like DPCC, but I
forget which is the right designation for the card, its software, and the
software-only emulator, each of which have their own similar four-letter
designation. It is possible I have the software to drive this but I'd have
to check my tape collection before saying for sure.

The only difference is the 11858 has "older revision artwork", althoguh
I'm not sure exactly what this means. I suspect they're referring to the
PCB layout. The 15652 is the "newer revision artwork" model. There is
probably little or no noticeable difference once the cover is put back on
the box.
