Just a clarification on a point by Doug Parde...  he stated that the 80286
wasn't even thought of when IBM came out with the PC...

I can't state when the 286 work began, but do know from documentation that
it was well into design by 1982...  in fact, the design of the 386 began in
1982...  I would assume that intel *was* working on the 286 at the time the
PC came out...

A working chip?  Well, they're still working on it.
