The PS/2 386 boxes were also

of the mobo?
The PS/2 Model 50 was an 80286.
I wasn't aware of any recalls on 'em, but then, they came out just
before I started my 1st job. They launched in 1987, the year of
release of the 80386DX, but I'm fairly sure several others beat IBM to
the punch.
The first 386 PC I can remember was a Compaq, but there's this vague
memory of an ALR that marginally predated it. The first 486 PC, I
think, was an Apricot, but again, that might just be the 1st I saw.
