The one I have has an 8088, model 8530-002. Well actually I pulled
the board out to use the case for an SB180 with Adaptec SCSI/MFM
adpator, a Miniscribe 20mb disk plus reusing the 3,5" disk and
power. Made a nice case for that. Been stripping the PCs board
since.
Must of had a strange one. ;)

Initially. A later version used the 286. The model 25 was, as
far
as I'm aware, always an 8086.
Peace... Sridhar

I've never owned a -002, but I have a -021 in the pile somewhere that
definitely has an 8086. The IBM Internal sales spec sheet I have here
shows the -002 having an 8MHz 8086.

If it was an 8088, you did indeed. 8-)

For one those are not vanilla floppy drives, unless
I'm seriously mistaken. If that thing has an 8088, I
want a picture. We all make mistakes, I'm not trying
to harangue, but I've never heard of any PC/2 sporting
an 8088.
Are you sure it's a PC/2 (you know what I mean - PS/2)?
