	IBM PC compatible - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The origins of this platform came with the decision by IBM in 1980 to market a personal computer as quickly as possible in response to Apple Computer 's rapid success in the burgeoning market for low-cost single-user computers -- what later came to be known as the "personal computer market".
		Maybe the most important push to IBM compatibles over all other computers was because Albert Clark, an Air Force program manager who was faced with a growing government user base, sharing mainframe time, who were purchasing the various non-compatible home computers to replace their VT-100 dumb terminals.
		By the late '80s, IBM, the creator of the IBM PC, hardly had much say, and a lot of other companies were trying to push their standards.

	IBM PC compatible : PC clone (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		IBM PC compatible refers to a class of computers which make up the vast majority of smaller computers on the market today.
		They are based on the original IBM PC, use the Intel x86 architecture and are capabable of using interchangable commodity hardware.
		Since 1984, IBM PC compatibles have conquered both the home and business markets of commodity computers so that the only notable remaining competition comes from Apple Macintosh computers with a market share of only a few per cent.

	* Clone - (Computing): Definition
		clone, compatable a computer manufactured under a different label or by a diffirent company but to diffirent degrees can use the same replacement parts, software and hardware components as that designed by the original manufacturer...
		Clone s are exact or near-exact copies, usually being reversed engineered or based on licensed code...
		Since IBM purchased its CPU chips from Intel and its operating system (DOS) from Microsoft, makers of PC-compatible s (called clone s at the time) were able to utilize the same chips and OS as IBM.

	REVERSE ENGINEERING-WINDOWS VS MACINTOSH (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		IBM - IBM wrote a manual - The fact that IBM published the source code for the BIOS made things harder, not easier, for potential cloners, because that code was copyrighted by IBM.
		IBM - Quote: IBM initially tried to recover from this mistake by creating a new line of PCs that replaced the standard 16-bit ISA bus with the 32-bit "Microchannel Architecture," or MCA bus, a superior but proprietary standard.
		These machines were sold under the moniker "PS/2" and, though IBM sold quite a few of them over the next few years and the proprietary nature of MCA prevented unlicensed cloning, the MCA bus never caught on outside PS/2 and the effort failed to stem the PC-clone tide.

		This group, as a general rule, is not for discussion of IBM related hardware, unless there is some aspect of home built electronics involved, such as connecting your own device to an IBM serial/parallel/game port, etc. or using IBM clone hardware as part of a homebuilt design (non-IBM design).
		Common IBM clone hardware hacks, such as overclocking and changing the UART chip, are best discussed in one of the IBM related newsgroups.
		An IBM clone hardware questions pointer is posted frequently on news.answers, and due to its length the information within it will not be repeated here.

		You may have heard the terms, " IBM Clone" and " IBM Compatible".
		IBM clone and IBM Compatible PC's can therefore use the same type of programs as IBM computers.
		The theory was that the more IBM imitations there were, the more likely it was that IBM-type systems and the software that runs on them would become the business standard.

	Definition of Clone
		The machines were often referred to as "IBM clones," or "IBM compatible" computers.
		They were called clones because the computers functioned exactly the same way as the ones made by IBM.
		Macintosh clones were made for a few years in the late 1990s, but Apple forced the end of their production by making the Macintosh operating system only run on the Apple-branded machines.

		Maybe it is time to revisit the days of the clone makers and examine what made them the choice of millions of computer buyers.
		Back when it was IBM or a "clone", you purchased a clone to get more for your money and a more open architecture (it was easier to add additional hardware cards inside a clone, IBM took their own cards).
		The no-name clone makers still give you more bang for the buck, parts are easier to find, they have a more open architecture, and in general you can add any hardware or software you want to them.
