Absolutely. It was just like an 8086, as far as the
programmer was concerned, but it had a few on-chip
peripherals.
I guess I was never aware that there was one like
that ever made. I always thought they jumped from the 8086 to the 80286 CPU.
I used a very early laptop in 1986 called the Tava Flyer.
It was a twin-floppy MS-DOS machine, CGA graphics on an LCD
(mono, no backlight) and an 80186 CPU. Worked fine.
