| | IBM PC compatible - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | IBM PC compatible refers to a class of computers which make up the vast majority of smaller computers (microcomputers) on the market today. | | | 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. |

| | IBM invented many of the core technologies used in all forms of computing, including the first hard disk drive and the Winchester hard disk drive, the cursor (on computer screens), Dynamic RAM (DRAM), the relational database, Thin Film recording heads, RISC architecture, the Scanning Tunneling Microscope, and the floppy disk. | | | The IBM iSeries minicomputer (in its 24-year history also variously known as i5, AS/400 and System/38) is the world's largest-selling computer family, if PC-type machines are excluded. | | | The IBM PC was introduced on August 12, 1981; Microsoft and Intel became monopoly suppliers of two of the key components of PC-compatible systems. |

| | PC (IBM) & Compatibles |
| | The biggest part of the compatibility issue was that it could run the same software as the IBM computers. | | | At first, IBM was debating whether to get involved with writing software for other computer out on the market. | | | William Lowe, a part of the Corporate Management Committee, disagreed with writing software for other computer companies and that IBM should be manufacturing their own computer systems. |

| | 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. | | | Today, the original IBM PC bus is known as the "ISA", or Industry Standard Architecture, bus. |

| | Comparing IBM-PCs against Apple Macintosh computers |
| | 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). | | | 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 Compatibles - The Secret Guide to Computers |
| | IBM listened well: IBM put into the IBM PC all the inexpensive features that business users were begging computer companies to provide. | | | IBM quickly became the #1 computer company - and Sperry's Univac dropped to #2. | | | To react, IBM quickly invented its own computers, which were more practical than the Univac. |

| | 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. | | | This document concentrates on the IBM version; some of the system-dependent capabilities described here may be lacking in the non-IBM ver- sions. | | | On the IBM PC family, Kermit-MS 2.30 performs almost complete emulation of the DEC VT-102 and Heath/Zenith-19 terminals at speeds up to 19,200 baud or greater, lacking only the VT102's smooth scrolling and (on some display boards) 132 column features. |
