==Microcomputers using the 8086==
* The Intel [[Multibus]]-compatible [[single-board computer]] ISBC 86/12 was announced in 1978.<ref>{{cite magazine | title = Intel Adds 16-Bit Single Board | magazine = [[Computerworld]] | date = December 11, 1978 | pages = 86 | volume = XII | issue = 50 | issn = 0010-4841 | url = https://books.google.com/books?id=07X0ovA_MmEC&pg=PA86| author=<!-- unspecified --> }}</ref>
* The [[Xerox NoteTaker]] was one of the earliest [[portable computer]] designs in 1978 and used three 8086 chips (as CPU, graphics processor, and I/O processor), but never entered commercial production.
* [[Seattle Computer Products]] shipped [[S-100 bus]] based 8086 systems (SCP200B) as early as November 1979.
* The Norwegian [[Mycron]] 2000, introduced in 1980.
* One of the most influential microcomputers of all, the [[IBM PC]], used the [[Intel 8088]], a version of the 8086 with an 8-bit [[Bus (computing)|data bus]] (as mentioned above).
* The first [[Compaq Deskpro]] used an 8086 running at 7.16&nbsp;MHz, but was compatible with add-in cards designed for the 4.77&nbsp;MHz [[IBM PC XT]] and could switch the CPU down to the lower speed (which also switched in a memory bus buffer to simulate the 8088's slower access) to avoid software timing issues.
* An 8&nbsp;MHz 8086-2 was used in the [[Olivetti M24|AT&T 6300 PC]] (built by [[Olivetti]], and known globally under several brands and model numbers), an IBM PC-compatible desktop microcomputer. The M24 / PC 6300 has IBM PC/XT compatible 8-bit expansion slots, but some of them have a proprietary extension providing the full 16-bit data bus of the 8086 CPU (similar in concept to the 16-bit slots of the [[IBM PC AT]], but different in the design details, and physically incompatible), and all system peripherals including the onboard video system also enjoy 16-bit data transfers. The later Olivetti M24SP featured an 8086-2 running at the full maximum 10&nbsp;MHz.
* The [[IBM Personal System/2|IBM PS/2]] models [[IBM PS/2 Model 25|25]] and [[IBM PS/2 Model 30|30]] were built with an 8&nbsp;MHz 8086.
* The [[Amstrad PC1512]], [[Amstrad PC1640|PC1640]], PC2086, PC3086 and PC5086 all used 8086 CPUs at 8&nbsp;MHz.
* The [[NEC PC-9801]].
* The [[Tandy 1000]] SL-series and RL machines used 9.47&nbsp;MHz 8086 CPUs.
* The [[IBM Displaywriter]] word processing machine<ref name = "InfoWorld Aug 1982" >{{cite magazine  | last = Zachmann | first = Mark  | title = Flaws in IBM Personal Computer frustrate critic  | magazine = [[InfoWorld]] | volume = 4 | issue = 33  | pages =57–58  | date = August 23, 1982  | url = https://books.google.com/books?id=VDAEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA57| issn = 0199-6649  | quote = the IBM Displaywriter is noticeably more expensive than other industrial micros that use the 8086.}}</ref> and the Wang Professional Computer, manufactured by [[Wang Laboratories]], also used the 8086.
* [[NASA]] used original 8086 CPUs on equipment for ground-based maintenance of the [[Space Shuttle Discovery]] until the end of the space shuttle program in 2011. This decision was made to prevent [[software regression]] that might result from upgrading or from switching to imperfect clones.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2002/05/12/technology/ebusiness/12NASA.html?pagewanted=2 |title=For Old Parts, NASA Boldly Goes ... on eBay |date=May 12, 2002 |newspaper=New York Times |url-access=limited}}</ref>
