Nope, the 80186 was designed to be a high-integration version of the 8086
architecture to support embedded applications. I was the Systems Validation
engineer responsible for it at Intel for a short period of time. It was the
first example of a chip that did things in a way that Microsoft hadn't
expected and so MS-DOS wouldn't run on it without tweaking.

They are also found in the DEC TQK50 controller card.
