How is the 8088/86 slowed down enough to communicate with a slow memory device?

Solution

-->The 8088 is purely an eight bit processor.
-->It has eight bit data bus.
-->The bus compatible with memory and I/O devies designed for eight bit processors.
-->8086 processor has 16 bit data bus.
-->The only difference between these 8086 and 8088 is speed at which the two processors operate.
-->the 8086 which is having 16 bit data bus is faster than 8088 having 8 bit data bus is a bit
slower than 8086.
