[Ham-Computers] RE: windows stuff

[Jay Eimer]

There were a couple of years where IBM was the only thing out there.  The
clones (and the first Compaqs) came later.

But if I recall correctly, the first 286's were 8-12MHz, and the 386's
started out at about 12 and went up to 33MHz.  486's were 33 then 66MHz
DX2's, and later 50 and 100MHz.  But the FIRST PC's (true IBM) were 8088
based and ran at around 4MHz.

Can you give me an aprox. year? The first Compaq commercial Prolinia ran at
25 MHZ.

Your probably right. My curiosity was peaked so I pulled it out and opened
it up.
I think I remember doing a benchmark on it and getting 25 but I can't
remember.
It has a 14 mc crystal in it.
I do remember it being fast for a 8086 but just for the life of me can't
remember what the speed really was.
I got the 528mb harddrive long after they came out, and I had to get an XT
drive card to use it.
