| Video Discription | Note: I unfortunately messed up the audio levels on this and didn't realize it until it was too late to fix it, that's why the audio is so quiet. Read the script with a full set of endnotes on our Substack! https://anotherboringtopic.substack.com/p/the-rise-and-fall-of-the-ibm-pc In this closing episode we take a look at IBM's two pronged assault on the clone market with the launch of the the OS/2 operating system and PS/2 line of computers.
