Hmm, can't say I knew too many people buying 286
based units as early as 85-86. I would guess some
businesses, but even then they'd have to be cutting
edge. Perhaps my area of Long Island wasn't affluent
enough :(. I don't have specific memories of a 5170 or
the like sitting in Computerland in Bohemia. I do
remember when the Mac II's came out. And come to think
of it, wasn't Sears authorized to sell IBM stuff in
those days?
Someone likened the built in OS to dos 1.0. There
were actual cp/m's for these things also. I don't know
alot about it. I'll have to learn...

I doubt too
many homies were buying 286s in 85-6.
I would agree for 83-84 And is
MSX-dos? kinda like c/pm?
MSX is quite a bit like CP/M. 'Course so is MS-DOS.
I think that MSX is between CP/M and a Z80 MS-DOS.
MSX was sorta a competitor to CP/M; too late.
