IBM PC ATs, whether run at 6MHz or 8MHz, have a 1 Wait State because the speed of the DRAM IBM used was not fast enough to complete a memory access in 2 clock cycles. Today, obtaining memory chips of the proper speed is easier and cost effective.
Of course, IBM put hardwired wait state logic into the machine. Is there a way to disable the logic and let the system run at a zero wait state setting without having to completely rewire the board?
