So, no consumer devices then.
I'm not even sure what your point is. The i80186 was also used in PCs, so
it was a PC chip in addition to whatever other uses it had. Also, HD DVD
players, in addition to having a Pentium 4 PC chip, a mobile PC chipset,
and PC RAM, also has several PC i/o devices, like the IDE HD DVD drive and
USB flash disk. So if you're trying to argue that something without PC i/o
isn't a PC, good job it's just a shame HD DVD doesn't meet that definition.

You forgot the link:

The experiment is made on the IPC@Chip® from Beck as a target system
(server). It has a NE2000 compatible network interface card, built-in
card driver, Real-time oper-ating system and embedded TCP/IP stack.
Its core is an I80186 microprocessor with 512MB RAM and 512MB Flash
drive. The server side code is written in C and uses op-erating
system’s APIs for creating and manipulating sockets
It's odd that when I google for 'i80186 "motor controllers"', nothing comes
up. Likewise with 'i80186 "industrial process controls"'. Yet, when I
google for 'i80186 server," several hundred hits come up.
