PS/1s were made from 1990 to 1994. they were consumer models and used

that used 286/386 cpus. they were a proprietary design with small cases and
matching monitors. later models were standard LPX designs with power
management. very simple and easy to fix. I've two early PS/1s in my
collection.

Early 128K IBM PS/1 with 5.25" floppy drive
and PS/1 power cube, PS1
keyboard (not chicklets), separate PS/1 color monitor, 2 PS/1 joysticks,
and a large box of IBM software (games and educational) in the IBM
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?
