	IBM PC compatible - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		These patterns were difficult or impossible to detect using standard DOS or BIOS calls, so direct access to the disk controller hardware was necessary for the protection to work.
		This meant that if a component became obsolete, only an individual component had to be upgraded and not the whole computer as was the case with many of the microcomputers of the time.
		However, MS-DOS (the dominant operating system of the time) did not have support for many calls for multimedia-hardware, and the BIOS was also inadequate.

		Later, in 1987, IBM itself would launch the PS/2 line of personal computers which was only software compatible with the PC architecture; this was also hugely unsuccessful.
		The microcomputer programming culture at the time was hacker-like, and enjoyed discovering and exploiting undocumented properties of the system.
		And in October 2001 Windows XP was launched, this was to replace all previous versions of Windows and, at time of writing (Jul 2005), has had two service pack updates and isn't expected to be replaced by the next version of Windows - called Windows Vista - until 2006.

		APIs themselves are abstract: software which provides a certain API is often called the implementation of that API.
		While an official Playstation API document may be interesting to read, it is of little use without its corresponding implementation, in the form of a separate library or developer's kit.
		An API which does not require royalties for access and usage is called "open".

		In fact, people may feel hesitation to call PC98-NX "PC/AT compatibles" because they are based on PC98 specifications, that is, they are partly denying traditional PC/AT architecture such as ISA expansion slots.
		N.B. C-bus expansion adapters are usually called "boards", while ISA adapters are usually called "cards".
		A valuable collection of undocumented BIOS call, I/O ports and BIOS work area.
