does that chip pose the same problems a *real* 186

At a maximum, no more than a V20 would in a PC. It did have several
interesting features, including 8080 emulation (like the V20) and the
ability to address 4MB of memory. I liked the chip--and there was at
least one portable/luggable based on it.
It was a common retrofit in a lot of XT-alikes. I fitted a few to Amstrad
PPCs, way way back.
