"The Tandy 1000 could possibly run MINIX, but not v-mem Unix.
I found it to be an interesting box, the only one I encountered
with an 80186 processor.  (Everyone else skipped from 8086 to 80286.)"

I had a Sharp MZ100 laptop back in the early 90's that had the 80186. 
Supposedly, the 80186 ran some instructions faster than the 8086...
