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.
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.
Correct again, Between model 25 all the way to 40 are ISA ps/2.
The another ISA small box is model 33. Above that, all MCA. I find
ps/1 2011 or early 386sx in same box attactive for it's size. At
least thanks to this 2011 idea, you can now buy small boxes with
small footprint celeron/pentium/pii/piii, athlon/duron with
everything for a grand.
