I bought my first True-Blue AT in April of '85 and it was a 6Mhz '286. As for an 8086 in an AT: never had it, never will. I bought another (for a client) in May of '86 and they were up to 8Mhz by then. But the AT's weren't available much before we got one and the selling point at introduction was the '286.
