No, it's not lying.  There are two kinds of IBM Model 30's.  The regular
Model 30 is an 8 Mhz 8086 machine with XT archetecture.  There is ALSO a
machine called the Model 30-286 which is a 10 Mhz 286 with AT archetecture
(as compared to Micro Channel Archetecture).  Micro Channel is included on
all models of IBM above the model 30-286. 

You apparently have the 30-286's around there.
