16 bits? 8088 was an 8 bit processor, like it's cousins the 8080, Z80 and the guy across the tracks, the Motorola 6800.
You guys would be suprised how many industrial controls out there are still running Z80's. Even as we speek there are thousands of Z80's and 6800's dilligantly making sure your "lumpy" water makes it to the sewer plant.
Sorry, couldn't resist a chance to get my post count up.
