That doesn't sound right to me. I recall growing up with friends who had 8086 PCs, bought prior to 1987.
- mrlonglong 3y agoThere were two variants of Model 30 in 1987. One with 8086 and another with the 80286. They were rehashed obsolete hardware with the ill-fated MCA which was supposed to be the future, but PCI won this particular battle.
- BeetleB 3y agoAs mentioned by a number of others in the comments, there definitely did exist 8086 based PC compatibles prior to 1987. No one is disputing the existence of this particular model.
