The HP LX series (95/100/200/700) palmtops were probably the most successful 80186-based computers. Several million of them were sold. Relevant to the discussion of medical equipment, there was just a discussion on the HPLX mailing list suggesting that the HP LX200 (MS-DOS 5.0) is still being sold as part of some piece of medical equipment, although no one there could say for certain. It was discontinued as a separate product in 1998.

The integrated peripherals, while generally better than same facilities present on the PC aren't the least compatible. The wrong thing in a world dominated by hardware-manipulating applications, such as games, graphics utilities, backup programs, etc. I still have the Durango 80186 IO.SYS source for MS-DOS 1.25, as well as the OEM docs for 2.0. All of this was a shame, because an 80186-based PC offers a pretty substantial bang for the buck; <snip>
