You *are* aware that many of the processors in PS/2's aren't Intel, 
right?  Many of them are IBM 386's and 486's, from back when IBM had 
rights to the designs.  There are some differences between the IBM parts 
and the Intel parts.

And my PS/2 Server 95A is quite happy running with an AMD Socket 7 chip.
