    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.

      PS2 was also an extreme overreaction to the IBM cloning situation, with its various “safe guards” against unauthorized replicas that made it a bitch to work on/upgrade iirc.
