Sure, the PS/2 Model 25 and 30 were 8086.
There's a lot of x86 gear still in production in industrial environments.
I've got a customer running part of a semiconductor line on industrial 286s
with no plans to retire them anytime soon. Not the oldest systems I support
for $day_job by far. And of course there's plenty of hobbyist interest in
older x86 stuff.
Thanks,
Jonathan

Cindy, I?m curious, is there really a market for
8086/88, 286, and
386 computers? What are folks using them for?
I know that there is an active IBM PS/2 collectors community that would
be happy with anything in that range.
I think PS/2s range from 286 - (very few) Pentium. I don't /think/
there were any 8086 / 8088 PS/2s, but I could be mistaken.
