Is there any reason that those 16 bit slots couldn't be used on the T1000SE/XE,
too?  It's got an 8086 (16 bit bus) rather than an 8088 (8 bit bus).  I'm
pretty sure that the built in hard-drive controller on my XE is 16 bit because
of the transfer rate.  (It transfers at about 475 KB/sec, which is in the AT
speed range; typical XT speeds are 185 KB/sec.)
