There are current products with pre-686 instruction sets. Companies such as DM&P still produce 586-class SoCs for embedded and industrial. These[1][2] are current products. And Intel Quark[3] is another one. I prefer option number 1 as suggested in the initial mail. //Peter [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vortex86 [2] http://www.vortex86.com/?p=264 [3] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Quark
