I am comparing architechtures among X86s.
I am a bit lazy to look for the following information
in some manuals:

Do the 286 processors use translation lookaside buffers (TLBs)?

What type of write polyicy does a typical 286 processor implement?

Pardon me for the ancient subject but I have not worked on Intel processors
before.
