IBM PS/1 start

IBM PS/1
The original PS/1, based on a 10 MHz Intel 80286 CPU, was designed to be easy to set up and use. It featured 1 MB of memory. The PS/1 line was created for new computer users and was sold in consumer electronics stores alongside comparable offerings from Compaq, Hewlett-Packard, Packard Bell, and others. IBM made the decision to put the DC power supply in the monitor, making use of third-party monitors difficult and essentially impractical and limiting the usefulness of the computer if the monitor needed service.
