I really thought it was 8x86 where the x was 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4.
But looking at a picture of a CPU online I see that it was 8086, 80186,
80286, 80386, 80486. #TodayILearned....
"xcvb" is wrong. It's an 8086.
ACK
The BBC Master had a '186:
There was an RM Nimbus too.
They didn't.
8088, 8086, 80286, 80386DX, then 80386SX, 80486, Pentium.
ACK
I think IBM had some special things that were modifications. Supposedly
my model 70 is a special 386 instruction set that has some hybrid CPU in
it. I don't remember the specifics. IBM was fab'ing chips at the time
and had licenses to Intel's IP. So they created a 386 that was somehow
more than / different from a 386. Maybe it was a crippled 486 that only
had the bus of the 386. I don't recall.
