WOAH! I have NEVER actually seen a computer using a 80186 processor! Most went directly from 8088/8086 to 80286. Sweet!


Back in the late 80's while doing repairs full time, I received a pc destroyed by lightening. Too far gone to make it cost effective to repair, so we trashed it. It wasn't one of those Icons, but it was too long ago to remember the model. I thought it was an odd machine at the time because it was a IBM clone but was using a 80186. I saved the CPU since it was a rare bird at the time. Still have it in a part bin all these years later.

PS, I did a bit of searching and I think it was a Siemens PC-D. According to wikipedia, the first DOS PC line of Siemens with MSDOS v2.11.
