3. Ibm pc-at Pc-AT(personal computer advanced technology)was released by IBM in 1984. It was several times faster than the original pc and based on the INTEL-80286 chip and thus, was able to claim success with its remarkable increase in performance and storage capacity. It also included more RAM of 1.2 mb 5 ¼ inch floppy disks. 

4. Pc/rt or RISC Technology Personal Computer PC/RT and R2000-based systems were released by IBM and MIPS in 1986. IT was the first RISC (Reduced instruction set computers)-based system. The  IBM PC-RT consisted of 1 megabyte of RAM, a 1.2- mb floppy disk drive and a 40- mb hard drive. It performed 2 million instructions per second.

5. PS/2 or personal system/2 PS/2 machines were introduced by IBM in 1987. The video graphics array standard and the 3 ½-inch floppy disk drive was a result of this . OS/2 was also introduced by IBM which was an operating system. In PS/2 there were two BIOS, one was ABIOS(Advanced BIOS) which resulted in the production of new interface which was a protected mode. The other was CBIOS (compatible BIOS).

6.  INTEL 80486  The 80486  microprocessor was introduced by intel in 1989. Along with the i860 RISC/coprocessor chip. Both had than a million transistor. The features of the RISC microprocessor include a clock speed of  33 MHZ, 32-bit integer arithmetic and logic unit and a 64 bit floating point unit.

7. VIDEO TOASTER NEWTEK introduced video toaster in 1990. Which was a production and a video editing system for computers in the Amiga line and custom hardware. It has many tools for character generation, image manipulation, video switching, chroma keying and animation.
