Ken (of Intel) didn't mention it in his reply to the above, but
Intel's partner(chip), AMD, has a subtle series of ads in the
June 10, 1985 Electronic Engineering Times that mention AMD's
price for their 8MHz PLCC Am80186 is $14.95 for 1K.  See page
62 (for example).  Or see page 44 of Electronic News (June 3).
 
Disclaimer #1: I am considering using the 186.  Just yesterday
I was reading an application note Ken wrote...
