That I know they are 286 class, I didn't mean to imply that I thought they
were a 486. Two of the three machines have an Intel snap-in 386 installed,
so they have a subset of the 386 instruction set available, but are still
basically 286 machines.

I'd like to find a 486 or pentium class microchannel machine to test
software with one of these days. I'm just not sure what I should be
looking for.
