[net.micro] 80286 rumor

Can anyone confirm or deny the rumor that I have heard going
around about the 80286?  It states that there are major
production problems, resulting in a YIELD of 2%.  I find that
figure almost beyond belief.

no, that's not difficult to believe at all.  Look into the HP 9000
(perhaps an extreme case...)
