It was never denied, dumbfuck.

you really ought to though, because it runs off of a bloody '186, and is the basis for the utter destruction of your fallacious argument. Ta ta.

They have the problem you appear to describe: CPU hardware interrupts clashing with the interrupt numbers foolishly chosen by IBM for BIOS services.

there may be some other problem, with the 80186 but you have not mentioned it.

no it's not, just don't use those hardware features, it's not like the features are ones that 8088 targeted DOS applications will use anyway.

as far as I can tell the only hardware interrups that were added on the 186 were 'BOUND' and 'INVALID OPCODE' and they are entirely optional (in that software that was written to intel's 8088/8086 specifications will not trigger them).

what's more, these same interrups are present on the later processors.
