Tandy/Radio Shack use to make a PC "semi"-compatible, the Tandy 2000,
using the 80186 chip.  
I believe this was before IBM released their AT class machines.
This machine didn't stay on the market for too long for obvious reasons
that it wasn't based on any "standard" IBM products and I believe that there
were quite a few software compatibility problems.

I think you might be able to find a few used ones still around.
A while back (~2 year) I saw a place in Computer Shopper selling off surplus
Tandy 2000 motherboards for $75 each.
