I've read that Intel has not licensed '386 to others, e.g. Harris,
who fabricated the 80c286, which uses less power due to CMOS technology.

I've also read that Harris is *cloning* the '386, planning to deliver
chips this year (Q4?), presumably CMOS versions, which I would imagine
will result in a new wave of powerful, lightweight, low-power laptops 
some months later...
