From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
IBM PC          International Business Machines Personal Computer.          IBM PCs and compatible models from other vendors are the most       widely used computer systems in the world.   They are typically       single user {personal computers}, although they have been       adapted into multi-user models for special applications.          Note: "IBM PC" is used in this dictionary to denote IBM and       compatible personal computers, and to distinguish these from       other {personal computers}, though the phrase "PC" is often       used elsewhere, by those who know no better, to mean "IBM PC       or compatible".          There are hundreds of models of IBM compatible computers.       They are based on {Intel}'s {microprocessors}: {Intel 8086},       {Intel 8088}, {Intel 80286}, {Intel 80386}, {Intel 486} or       {Pentium}.   The models of IBM's first-generation Personal       Computer (PC) series have names: IBM PC, {IBM PC XT}, {IBM PC       AT}, Convertible and Portable.   The models of its second       generation, the Personal System/2 ({PS/2}), are known by model       number: Model 25, Model 30.   Within each series, the models       are also commonly referenced by their {CPU} {clock rate}.          All IBM personal computers are software compatible with each       other in general, but not every program will work in every       machine.   Some programs are time sensitive to a particular       speed class.   Older programs will not take advantage of newer       higher-resolution {display standards}.          The speed of the {CPU} ({microprocessor}) is the most       significant factor in machine performance.   It is determined       by its {clock rate} and the number of bits it can process       internally.   It is also determined by the number of bits it       transfers across its {data bus}.   The second major performance       factor is the speed of the {hard disk}.          {CAD} and other graphics-intensive {application programs} can       be sped up with the addition of a mathematics {coprocessor}, a       chip which plugs into a special socket available in almost all       machines.          {Intel 8086} and {Intel 8088}-based PCs require {EMS}       (expanded memory) boards to work with more than one megabyte       of memory.   All these machines run under {MS-DOS}.   The       original {IBM PC AT} used an {Intel 80286} processor which can       access up to 16 megabytes of memory (though standard {MS-DOS}       applications cannot use more than one megabyte without {EMS}).       {Intel 80286}-based computers running under {OS/2} can work       with the maximum memory.          Although IBM sells {printers} for PCs, most printers will work       with them.   As with display hardware, the software vendor must       support a wide variety of printers.   Each program must be       installed with the appropriate {printer driver}.          The original 1981 IBM PC's keyboard was severely criticised by       typists for its non-standard placement of the return and left       shift keys.   In 1984, IBM corrected this on its AT keyboard,       but shortened the backspace key, making it harder to reach.       In 1987, it introduced its Enhanced keyboard, which relocated       all the function keys and placed the control key in an awkward       location for touch typists.   The escape key was relocated to       the opposite side of the keyboard.   By relocating the function       keys, IBM made it impossible for software vendors to use them       intelligently.   What's easy to reach on one keyboard is       difficult on the other, and vice versa.   To the touch typist,       these deficiencies are maddening.          An "IBM PC compatible" may have a keyboard which does not       recognize every key combination a true IBM PC does,       e.g. shifted cursor keys.   In addition, the "compatible"       vendors sometimes use proprietary keyboard interfaces,       preventing you from replacing the keyboard.          The 1981 PC had 360K {floppy disks}.   In 1984, IBM introduced       the 1.2 megabyte floppy disk along with its AT model.       Although often used as {backup} storage, the high density       floppy is not often used for interchangeability.   In 1986, IBM       introduced the 720K 3.5" microfloppy disk on its Convertible       {laptop computer}.   It introduced the 1.44 megabyte double       density version with the PS/2 line.   These disk drives can be       added to existing PCs.          Fixed, non-removable, {hard disks} for IBM compatibles are       available with storage capacities from 20 to over 600       megabytes.   If a hard disk is added that is not compatible       with the existing {disk controller}, a new controller board       must be plugged in.   However, one disk's internal standard       does not conflict with another, since all programs and data       must be copied onto it to begin with.   Removable hard disks       that hold at least 20 megabytes are also available.          When a new peripheral device, such as a {monitor} or       {scanner}, is added to an IBM compatible, a corresponding, new       controller board must be plugged into an {expansion slot} (in       the bus) in order to electronically control its operation.       The PC and XT had eight-bit busses; the AT had a 16-bit bus.       16-bit boards will not fit into 8-bit slots, but 8-bit boards       will fit into 16-bit slots.   {Intel 80286} and {Intel 80386}       computers provide both 8-bit and 16-bit slots, while the 386s       also have proprietary 32-bit memory slots.   The bus in       high-end models of the PS/2 line is called "{Micro Channel}".       {EISA} is a non-IBM rival to Micro Channel.          The original IBM PC came with {BASIC} in {ROM}.   Later, Basic       and BasicA were distributed on floppy but ran and referenced       routines in ROM.          IBM PC and PS/2
