even close. That's like saying a modem with an 80186 controller
is technically a PeeCee.
To totally change the subject, somewhere I have a modem (2400 bps max I
think) which uses an 8088 as the 'DSP'....
Yup. I can't pull the make or model out of the organic nvram, but I
_know_ I've installed PC modems with '186 chips on.
Know I may have to try to find a reference....
I've got a number of SCSI controllers that use an 80186. I have some
caching ATA adapters from the early '90s that even use an 80286. I guess a
386SX or a custom chip would be used if similar boards were made today.
