Logos, >>The guys at IBM who built the IBM PC wanted to make a machine that was not brain-dead and wanted to build it quickly. They knew that if they used IBM parts, the IBM PC would have been over-priced and under-powered, and so they used Intel and Microsoft and the rest is history The reason they picked the 8088 was because it was underpowered. They did not want the PC to compete with their Minicomputer line. If they had wanted a powerful PC they would have picked the 68000 which was light-years ahead of the 8088. Cheers, Norm
