View source for IBM PC

The '''IBM PC''' is the name for a ground-breaking series of [[personal computer]]s produced by [[International Business Machines|IBM]].

They instantly became a huge sales success, since they combined reasonable hardware with the authority of the 'IBM' name. A desire on the part of other manufacturers to 'get in on' that market led to the development of the first [[IBM-compatible PC]], which would run any and all software which ran on the IBM PC, by [[Compaq]].

The first several models in the line are:

* [[IBM 5150]]
* [[IBM 5160]] - XT
* [[IBM 5170]] - AT
