The 186 was used in CP/M-86 systems. I have a computer with one that runs AutoCAD version 1.4 for CP/M. I don't know if the 186 was used in computers beyond those with the S-100 bus. The computer with AutoCAD has more video memory than system memory. : ) Grant -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-8086" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
