?
almost afraid to ask what time it is.
Knowing the work that PatrickT has put into his build, maybe I should ask him to explain Vroom-Vroom. I would get a new car in the process

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. |

No, Ronbo. The 8088 microprocessor has 16-bit registers, 16-bit internal data bus and 20-bit address bus, which allows the processor address up to 1 MB of memory. The 8088 uses the same segmented memory addressing as the 8086: the processor can address 64 KB of memory directly, and to address more than 64 KB of memory the CPU has to break the update into a few parts - update up to 64 KB of memory, change segment register, update another block of memory, update segment register again, and so on.

OK you got me going, I'll have to dig a little.
The link you posted doesn't state the instruction set used. Far as I remember the 286 was the first true 16 bit CPU in Intel flavor. 
My bad, it's on the "architecture" page, 16 bit instruction code...
