Since 90% of the apple format is done in 6502 software anything that reads
that would ahve a 6502 or one of it's clones by inference.

Live with it. Before I got a decent PC evenone assumed I had a Pentium.
In the mean time look in dumpsters and garbage pails for your 386, they
seems to be worthless here (Eastern MA).


A 286 should be fine for use with that board if their software doesn't
require it. I'd bet they don't need more than that.
