There were more 8086 mobos than you might imagine.
Consider, for
example, the Stearns PC. Since there was a CMOS
80C86 available
before the 80C88, the 8086 also found its way into
several laptops.
There were a bunch of puters brandishing 8086's, but
I don't think I've heard of an 8086 mobo you could
just buy outright. He did so "homebuilt" but I'm still
waiting for clarification on the terminology. Of
course he probably means "home-assembled".
