It was called Micro-Channel although not all PS/2's used it. As I recall
the PS/1 was supposed to be a dumbed down PS/2 for home use. It was
designed to be very limited to insure it didn't cut into the PS/2 market.

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
