Contemporary computers of IBM XT/286 (5162)


Manufacturer: Inves
CPU: Intel 8088

In 1986, Inves manufactured its first "IBM-compatible" PC, the first PC manufactured in Spain, and distributed by El Corte InglΓ©s.

Manufacturer: Amstrad
CPU: Intel 8086 @ 8 MHz


It could be purchased with a color (CM) or monochrome (MM) monitor.
And with floppy disk drives for low-density (PC1512SD) or double-density (PC1512DD) disks.
This computer initially didn't have a hard drive, but one could be included. Its floppy disk drives could also be replaced with high-density ones.

The keyboard:

When Amstrad manufactured the PC1512 in 1986, it was careful to avoid any conflict with IBM and made sure not to infringe any of IBM's patents on the IBM PC. In fact, there were very few patents registered other than the keyboard interface.

Therefore, Amstrad designed a new keyboard interface that was quite different (and therefore incompatible) with the IBM interface. The connector and protocols were different, so an Amstrad keyboard cannot be used (even with an adapter) with an IBM PC, or vice versa.

The proprietary keyboard interface was used on all machines in the 1000, 2000, 3000 and 4000 series. Later (from the 5000 series onwards), Amstrad followed what had become common practice and switched to the IBM PS/2 keyboard interface.

Manufacturer: Amstrad
CPU: Intel 8086 @ 8 MHz


This was an update to the previous model, the PC1512, which increased the RAM to 640 KB and incorporated EGA graphics.

There was a version with a dual 5.5-inch floppy disk drive or a hard drive (PC1640HD20).

Manufacturer: Sinclair
CPU: Zilog Z80 @ 3.54 MHz


After the company was sold to Amstrad, the company began producing this model, based on the ROM of the Sinclair ZX Spectrum 128 model, and similar in appearance to it, but incorporating a cassette drive.
The +2A and +2B variants, produced in Taiwan and China, respectively, did not include the disk drive controller circuit.

Manufacturer: Apple
Launched: Jan 1986
CPU: Motorola 68000 @ 8 MHz


The Macintosh Plus is the third model in the Macintosh line. It was based on the case of the 128K and 512K Macintoshes with a 9-inch display (512x342 pixels, monochrome), but with more memory (1 MB, expandable to 4 MB), a larger ROM (128 KB instead of 64 KB), and a SCSI interface, through which external hard drives and data exchange drives could be connected, as well as a SCSI Ethernet adapter. The case was initially beige in color and later became available in platinum gray.
