Thanks for the reference. I have bookmarked it.
Thanks also to everyone who has pointed out the model 25 and the 286
versions. Both well after my time - when I left IBM there were just the
30, 50, 60 and 80. I think I had heard of the 25 though - perhaps that
will teach me not to open my mouth quite so wide.
No thanks to whoever said the 8088 and 8086 were the same thing. If that's
the case, the Pentium and the 80386 are the same thing :-)
Philip.
