A lot of the 286 accelerators I see on eBay are advertised either in the auction itself or old issues of Infoworld as being replacements for the 8088. Does this mean that they wouldn't be compatible with the 8086 for some reason? To confuse me more, I remember reading an old Infoworld magazine on Google Books that reviewed several accelerators and two of the boards had an 8086 CPU and one even had a NEC v20, which seems odd...why wouldn't you just lift the 8088 out and pop the NEC in?
Anyway, there are a few boards on eBay and I was wondering if I'd run into issues with using one in an 8086 IBM Model 25 just for kicks, but I haven't been able to find decent information elsewhere.
