These chips were samples, but as far as I know they worked. I think the 286 works, but it currently has a BIG problem with heat. The samples that we have were very good at melting into their sockets. Even with huge heat sinks connected. The project that was using the 286 will require the 8Mhz version to meet their contractual requirements, last I heard they were getting quite worried, but software development was continuing using the slow samples. lewis bean at mit-mc
