I'm not so sure about SOTA, but an interesting

8086 instead of the typical 8088.
When Sears had a chain of computer stores, they really flogged the
6300s. I don't know if I'd call the 6300 "state of the art" though.
Wasn't it an Olivetti machine under the skin?
There were other 8086-based PeeCee-type machines. The Stearns is one
that comes to mind. Made somewhere in the Twin Cities (Minneapolis-
St. Paul) area, IIRC.
