they were not "veryuch in the home pc market" they released the ps/1 to "reenter" the home market. the ps/2 was older. and never had a 486dx 2. th ps/1 had one 486dc2. so yes its possible but tjis article is about ibm losing the home market and they lost it by then, since the ps/1 was them trying one last time to "reeneter" it.
...the PS/1 was widely available at general retail (including every sears in america) for three years by the time doom swept the shareware scene, including one model fitted with a 486DX and ten models with a 486DX2...
i looked it up. i was counting the 2168 as one model but i guess there were ten variations. but your answers dont seem real. you sound like a young person who didnt buy a pc. we didnt buy pcs from sears. are you using ai?
...my first PC ran a MOS 6502, loaded programs from a philips cassette, and used an acoustic coupler modem...
Maybe you should, your grammar is awful. Are you using your face to type?
