The IBM PC XT 286 is an intermediate computer between the [IBM PC XT](/museum/ibm-pc-xt-model-5160/) and the [IBM PC AT](/museum/ibm-pc-at/).

It had a very short career because most of its features can be found in the PC AT.

Contrary to the PC XT, it has a saved clock and a calendar.

**James G. Davis** reports:\
Only a few were made-maybe 20,000. Someone with IBM told me that they stopped making them when they had used up all the XT boxes, since the new ATs used a different box.
