One of you thinks the 8530 (PS/2 model 30) was an 8088, the other thinks it

(and to my knowledge only) machine to be based on the 8086.
If I am wrong, and a 286 version did exist, no doubt flames will appear in
great numbers.
8088 or 8086, same basic difference in that it's an XT class machine with 8 bit
slots You can read the specs on the model 30 at
http://www.can.ibm.com/helpware/8530.html
There is indeed trillions of model 30-286 units out and about, one being where
I work on the network tied to an AS/400 as a disk type workstation. The specs
for it are at http://www.can.ibm.com/helpware/8530286.html
There was also a model 25 and a 25-286. Both ISA machines.
No need for flames, yet. <g>
