One of you thinks the 8530 (PS/2 model 30) was an 8088, the other thinks it
was an 80286. I claim you're both wrong. The model 30 was IBM's first
(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. Philip.
IBM did produce model 25-286 and 30-286, in fact around '90 I was
using this 30-286 doing CAD course in high school.
The motherboard is exhangeable between 25 and 30 chassis and there
was 2 ways: IBM way by special 44pin drive directly plugged into
motherboard itself by ribbon or use MFM or SCSI on ISA slot.
Oh, there was some 386sx version made for that case.
Haven't seen this one and what was right model # for this?
