PS/2
<computer>
IBM's second generation of personal computers. The PS/2 series introduced three advances over the PC series: 3.5" 1.44 megabyte microfloppy disks,
VGA and
8514 graphics
display standards, and the Micro Channel bus architecture.
The 3.5" disks and VGA can be easily installed on other PCs and will become the standard for new compatible computers.
The Micro Channel bus allows for multiprocessing and less aggravation, but cannot be retrofitted to older PCs.
PS/2 models 25 and 30 are
ISA, other models have Micro Channel and
ESDI.
