The one I have has an 8088, model 8530-002.   Well actually I pulled 
the board out to use the case for an SB180 with Adaptec SCSI/MFM 
adpator, a Miniscribe 20mb disk plus reusing the 3,5" disk and 
power.  Made a nice case for that.  Been stripping the PCs board 
since.

Must of had a strange one.  ;)
