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.
Well, this is not a flame, just some illumination... :-)
The original Model 30 was, in fact, an 8086, but I think I might dispute the
"only" part since I assumed that the Model 25 was also an 8086.
There was also, however, a 286 version of the Model 30 which came out a
little later. (I'll let the IBM experts come up with the model#.) IIRC,
the press at the time called it "The PC/AT Reborn".
