From March 13 MacWeek:

Top 10 personal computers sold by US specialty stores in Dec 89:

IBM 55sx	386sx
IBM 30 286	286
Compaq 386s	386sx?
IBM 55z		386sx
IBM 70		386
Compaq 286e	286
Mac SE		68000
Mac Plus	68000
Apple IIgs	65816
Epson Equity	?

The way I read this graph is that the IBM market is heading headlong
into the 386 world and selling alot of them.  No MacII class machine
made the list !?!  If apple wants the low end they have to sell
machines that compete with the 386sx machines from IBM and Compaq.
