   Mentioning the 2865 CPU reminds me of an amusing computer happening at   
   the VA hospital I worked at. TheyPriot to the XT they had a variety od   
   Pripority Wrodprocessors and a few CPM machines. they had as big problem   
   with pripority document formats. They went to thew XT to spolved that in   
   they did a great job. Soem departments even set pu Networksd using coax   
   cable.   
   When the 286 came out and they decided to replace soem of hte older XT's   
   they had the purchising agend make up a bidding doxulment. Unfortunatly   
   he did'nt use detains but ust required that the machiens had a 286 CPU.   
   They bought 6 of theem and short;ly the clerks uning them were   
   complaining that they had to enter the date and time at every boot up.   
   It turned that the Mother board needed a clock card as it was a bottom   
   of the line that was the same as the XT mb except it re-designed to use   
   the 286 CPU
