[....] SCI used the 80186 as the primary CPU in their SCI 1000 Tower system a few years ago. The system had a backplane and was not a peecee. It ran AT&T UNIX System III quite well. To this day it will smoke a 286 peecee running UNIX in a multiuser environment. carmen P.S. Does anyone have an Intel 310 or 320 they want to get rid of?
