I don't think you'll find too many 8086 machines these days, let alone 80186. I fact I saw such a thing once in my entire life. A Triumph-Adler with an amber monochrome monitor, which I found so cool, I still change the font settings to amber-on-black 30 years later on whatever system I'm working on :)
The only reason my main retro box is a 286 rather than an 8088/8086 was that it's easier to find parts for a 286 - but because it's only got 1 MB RAM I pretty much use it as a glorified XT.
When I was growing up, XT-class machines were pretty much everywhere - especially the Tandy 1000EX. (I've actually owned 3 Tandy 1000s, and some of my early FreeDOS testing and C coding was done on a 1000HX.)
