- adrian_b 4y agoThat is right and I have also used some cheap and fast PC/XT clones made with those. However they have been launched only in 1984 and computers made with them have become available only some years after the PC/AT with 80286, most likely even later than the launch of 80386, so despite that they implemented all the 80186 extensions they do not count when discussing the timeline of the INS/OUTS introduction.
