SX or SLC?  I know IBM used those really bad 486SLC's a lot.
Had on-chip cache, and ran really fast, but it was really a 386SX thinking it was a 486... =(

Yeah, I have some of those 2MB SIMMs here - waiting to put them in a PS/2 I'd like to use as a dumb terminal for
one of my SPARCS or my hub.

And the PS/2 Model 25 was either a 8086 or 286, in an "all-in-one" casing, if I recall.
