Apart from that the 386 was quite widely used in embedded work. There
was a specific embedded version AFAIr. Whilst not as common as some MCU
the x86 family was used in embedded work with and without a DOS & BIOS

Where x86 was used for embedded work the Borland compiler tended to be
the compiler of choice. I have a rom kit for the Borland compilers if
anyone is interested.

The 80186(&8)EA/B/C series were used in embedded applications with the
Borland compiler, requiring a very small BSP to furnish BIOS compatibility.
Nigel Roles (of York University) did much of the groundwork.
