Also Nokia had one model (MikroMikko 2,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MikroMikko#MikroMikko_2) with the 80186
but it used a custom MS-DOS 2.x so it couldn't have been that
compatible. I vaguely remember fixing one of these back in 1994 when it
was still used to run a pharmacy.

Oh, back when Europe went lead free on electronics around 2004, I was
part of a project to convert some Nokia telecom boards to lead free. And
what do you know, one of them had an Intel 80186 which was swapped to an
AMD model since those were available in lead free.
