PS/1 was idea of "value" read: stripped down, oddball machines based
on ISA design with connector conpirecy add as side dish!
And, no memory parity at all! This is why the value bottomed out so
rapidly when I traded some parts for a PS/2 2011-M01 stock config but
once again in short time again it's gone again to a guy who only
needs basic pc.

PS/1 carried through a bit for few years then gone that ended in a
reasonably decent desktop boxes with fairly standard parts.
