I always wondered what era the IBM PS/1 is from?
I've seen PS/1 machines
but they look 90s. And I never heard of them before the PS/2, although it
would seem logical that the PS/1 came first. What's the deal?
ps/1 was early 90s. ps/2, which preceded it (go figure) was late 80s. ps/2
was supposed to push the new (closed) IBM archetecture (who's name eludes me)
whereas ps/1 was just another clone, albiet a single box with everything in it.
This is how I remember it, although I'm certainly no expert.
