Re: "BTW, at one stage they considered making the PC jr chip at the local chip plant"

IBM had a license to manufacture Intel CPUs up through the i486. Come Pentium time, IBM had this crazy idea the PPC was going to bury Intel so they didn't pick up their option to manufacture it (Pentium). The PCjr chip was the same as the PC. A 8088.
