80186

[Guest]

Hi,

I am about to sort my processors.

Starting with the 80186 family I came across some things I
do not quite understand.

1. Chips are often labeled 80186-x where x is the frequency.
This seems true to me in most cases (-6,-10,-12 etc.) but I doubt
its true for -3. I found a reference this would be 8 MHz - can
anyone confirm that ? Is there an official source that helps on
such questions ?

2. Some chips are just labeled 80186 without any extension.
What is the frequency there ? Is it 6 MHz because in the beginning
there were no faster 186s ? Is it dependend on the model ?
(80186 vs. 80C186 vs. 80C186XL, EA etc.)

3. I came across two chips with almost the same labels
R80186-10 and R80186-10C.
Can anybody tell me what the difference is ?

Thanks

Thanks so far,

so
C80186-3 is 8 MHz
C80186-6 is 6 MHz
N80186 is 8 MHz

C80C186 is 8 MHz
R80C186-10, 12, 16 is what it shows
N80C186 is 8
N80C186-8, 12, 16 is what it shows

A80C186-16,20 is what it shows

- right ?

The only thing that really confuses me there is that no postfix,
-3 and -8 stands for the same frequency.

My XL, EA etc. versions do all have a MHz-postfix.

I have had a look at chiplist before.

The 186/188-information looks uncomplete to me as far as
EA/EB/EC versions are concerned as I have the datasheets
from intel as a second source which includes other models
as well.

For earlier 186-versions I do not have the datasheets and
chiplist is not very helpful there:
