probably dozens and dozens if not hundreds of
industrial embedded systems
Years ago I repaired a friend's laser printer (long before I could afford
such a machine..), and I am sure I rememebr an 80186 or 80188 on the
formatter board.
And I think I remember an 80188 in my X-terminal. No, not to run the X
serer (that runsd on a TMS3410 video chip IIRC), but for I/O.
*********************************************************
likely there are other worthy additions to this list. But the very
Jules Richardson gave me some kind of Philips multi-user system, which
has a couple of 808188s in it (and a fair pile of Z80s...).
What was the processor in the MS-DOS second processor for the BBC micro?
Something says '80186' to me.
