IBM Xstation 140?

[Guy Sotomayor Jr]

If I recall correctly the Xstation 120 (the first of them) used an 8086 (might have been an 80186).  The big issue was that you couldn’t do anything with it because what was in ROM/FLASH was only smart enough to be able to TFTP the rest of the microcode (not terribly useful if you don’t have the image it wants to TFTP).

I think the 140 fixed that (and is somewhat telling from all of the Intel flash parts on the board).  But I don’t know what CPU it’s using.  The IBM metal can is probably the graphics controller.
