80186?
Tho ive seldom posted but have always read this
list i cannot resist -
somewhere stored away in my piles of stuff I have an IBM Model 30 I
believe that has an 8 bit isa bus and an 80186 cpu.
I am somewhat surprised to learn that any commercially available general
purpose computer had an 8186 CPU. I would love some confirmation on the CPU. (I'll
look it up in a bit.)
"xcvb" is wrong. It's an 8086.
I've only seen it in purpose built
equipment. The last one I saw was in a mobile X-Ray or CT machine in
the late '90s.
The BBC Master had a '186:

There was an RM Nimbus too.

That would mean that IBM PS/2s had every major class
of x86 CPU between
the 8086 (or was it 8088, which is still in the 8x86 family) and the
Pentium.
They didn't.
8088, 8086, 80286, 80386DX, then 80386SX, 80486, Pentium.
