Subject: IBM Personal Computer
For more details on the IBM new personal computer see a full page
ad (page 16) in Monday's Wall Street Journal (8/17/81). There is
a number one can call : 1-800-431-2670. But Rubin's mail to
WorkS seems to have quite a good description of the system.

There is a rumour that the S-100 bus is (or going to be) on the new
IBM PC. Is this true?

Subject: IBM Personal Computer
Would someone collect information on the IBM Personal Computer,
and then send it out to the list? Here is all that I know about
it:
Processor Class: 8086 (lets face it, its a display-writer)
Up to 256 K memory
Either Floppy (avail now) or Winchester drives.
Can run DOS, a version of CP/M or IBM's own OS.
Will have EasyWriter & VisiCalc; not sure on Wordstar.
It is clearly going to be more powerful in the long run over
8080 class microprocessors.
For more info, they have an 800/431-2670 number for information
pacquets.
