A few folks forget the PC/XT
286 model 5162 that was actually a bit faster
(because of 0 WS DRAM)
that the original 5170. I don't know if the 5162
ever incorporated
any speed-checking in the BIOS.
I heard a strange rumor to the effect that the PC/XT
286 incorporated a "real" 5170 mobo. I didn't really
believe it when I heard it, but besides, some full
size clone AT cased couldn't take a real 5170 mobo,
how could the (essentially an XT case I guess) take one?
