Actually, the 186 is probably *more* used than the others, just not
in home-user pc's:
* many X terminals used the 80186 as network/keyboard controller
* the HP95/100/200 LX handhelds use a cmos 80186
* the AT&T ISDN phones have an 80186 in them
Needless to say, linux doesn't run in any of these environments
(though I suppose ELKS would, I don't know how far along that is...)
