Gregory's Server@santiago The 80186, 80286, Pentium, etc. are improvements to the 8086, adding more instructions and features and lots more transistors but keeping binary compatibility. Modern x86 chips can still run 8086 code (but only in virtual real mode).

@kenshirriff I remember as a kid, playing DOS gamen with a DEC PC, cannot remember the model, late 80s. Sure ut was a 186 or 286 at most. Miss those good old days. Last week i got a Texas Instruments Voyage 200 with a Motorola 68k processor at 12MHz... I think that those fan less and even cooler-less processors, were the top, everything with a fan+cooler after, was all the way down. Thanks for sharing!
