	IBM Compatibles: The Universe Expands
		IBM's twin 3½-inch, 720K disk drive Model 30 provides 640K RAM and is priced at $1,695; with one disk drive and a 20-megabyte hard disk, it lists for $2,295.
		At the higher end as well, IBM is betting on business interest in increased speed, with the Intel 80386 microprocessor delivering operations at rates up to 350 percent faster than the current AT processor.
		But enhanced graphics is currently a high-priority item among the clone and compatibles manufacturers, many of whom are already delivering low-priced machines that accomplish their processing tasks faster than do IBM ATs.

	IBM PC compatible at AllExperts
		IBM PC compatible is a class of computers which make up the vast majority of small computers (microcomputers) on the market today.
		As the market evolved however, IBM derived a considerable income stream from licence fees — companies who cloned the PC paid for licences to use IBM patents that were in the PC design, to the extent that IBM's focus changed from discouraging PC clones to maximising its revenue from licence sales.
		Since 1981, IBM PC compatibles have grown to dominate both the home and business markets of commodity computers, with the only notable alternative architecture being the Apple Macintosh computers, which have a market share of only a few percent.

		IBM PCs and compatible models from other vendors are the most widely used computer systems in the world.
		Note: "IBM PC" is used in this dictionary to denote IBM and compatible personal computers, and to distinguish these from other personal computers, though the phrase "PC" is often used elsewhere, by those who know no better, to mean "IBM PC or compatible".
		When a new peripheral device, such as a monitor or scanner, is added to an IBM compatible, a corresponding, new controller board must be plugged into an expansion slot (in the bus) in order to electronically control its operation.

		Just like Intel, Microsoft had been handed the keys to a kingdom when IBM had granted it rights to supply IBM and all the IBM-compatibles with the operating system software that controls every other program.
		While the microchip is the brain of the computer, allowing it to think, the operating system is the rest of the body, moving into action.
		That dominant market position would have forced software developers to devote the bulk of their resources to Apple and its compatibles, ensuring a plethora of programs that would meet almost any user's needs.

	Comparing IBM-PCs against Apple Macintosh computers
		IBM compatibles are so called because the Read Only Memory Basic Input Output System (ROM-BIOS) was licensed to many manufacturers, who had the right to engineer, build, and sell systems that were compatible to machines originally made by IBM.
		IBM had been manufacturing mainframes for several years, and they believed that personal computers could be engineered with interfaces similar to mainframe computers.
		So it was no surprise that IBM expected a command-line driven interface when it asked Microsoft to develop an operating system for its personal computer (an operating system serves as the go-between for your computer program and the computer itself).

	Mac vs IBM
		To begin with, the average computer generation is about six months, and with every generation IBMs increase their computers^ capacities to appeal more and more to the ^average Joe.^ Memory, normally measured in gigabits, is constantly increasing though most people cannot use as much as is available.
		In fact, the biggest drawback to IBM compatibles is their complexity.
		On the other hand Macs are capable of translating IBM programs to their own format, but programs to do so are also expensive and reduce speed.

		With the appearance in the marketplace of many new MS-DOS machines that were not compatible with the IBM PC, it became apparent that conditionally assembled code supporting each of these machines within a single monolithic source file was not the best way to organize the program.
		The IBM PC version will also run on near-clones like the DG/1 that differ from true PCs only in their choice of UART; non-8250 UARTs are detected automati- cally, and slower non-interrupt driven Bios serial port i/o is used, in which case the top speed is in the 1200 baud range.
		Note that on some early IBM PCs and compatibles, the cursor may not be restored correctly after escaping back from CONNECT because of a bug in the early IBM BIOS.

	25 years of IBM's silent revolution
		IBM may no longer make personal computers but 25 years ago -- on August 12, 1981 -- it triggered a silent unplanned revolution when it announced the smallest lowest-priced computer system (IBM Personal Computer-5150), pricing it at $1,565.
		It had an enhanced version of the Microsoft BASIC programming language (we have XP today and Vista to follow); an 83-key adjustable keyboard (we may laugh at it today); and 16 KB (512 MB and 1 GB are household memory names today) memory.
		Before the IBM PC, there were mainframes or minis, large and expensive investments that were not meant for individuals.

	SingaporeMoms - Parenting Encyclopedia - DOS
		MS-DOS (and the IBM PC-DOS which was licensed therefrom), and its predecessor, QDOS, was a successor to CP/M (Command Processor / (for) Microcomputers)—which was the dominant operating system for 8-bit Intel 8080 and Zilog Z80 based microcomputers.
		DOS was one of the first operating systems for the PC compatible platform, and the first on that platform to gain widespread use (it was still widespread more than 10 years later).
		Because of the long existence and ubiquitousness of DOS in the world of the PC-compatible platform (DOS compatible programs were made well into the 90's), DOS was often considered to be the native operating system of the PC compatible platform.

	CNN.com - Big Blue birthday: IBM PC turns 20 - August 12, 2001
		The IBM PC originated not at Big Blue's Armonk, New York, headquarters but at its small Entry Systems Division in Boca Raton, Florida, which was headed by IBM veteran Bill Lowe.
		It was Lowe who proposed to IBM's top brass that they build a personal computer made of components provided by outsiders, bucking IBM's long-standing practice of using its own hardware and software.
		IBM selected Intel's 8088 processor for the system chiefly because it was the only 16-bit processor available that had an 8-bit bus.

	IBM PC
		The original IBM PC is the grandfather of today's most popular computers, which until recently were known as "IBM Compatibles" (now more frequently referred to as "x86 architecture" or "Windows PCs").
		The IBM PC rapidly dominated the personal computing industry, despite some wacky marketing decisions by IBM such as licensing the Charlie Chaplin "Little Tramp" character as their advertising mascot, and the disastrous introduction of the PC's "little brother", the IBM PCjr.
		IBM AT - 80286, 6-8 MHz (the 286 breaks the "640K barrier", but only with a special "protected mode" in which normal programs won't run; a slot extension is added to bring the IBM PC bus to 16 bit width; hard disks are now supported in the system BIOS ROM)
