How the Intel 8088 Got Its Bus

The 8086 and 8088 Helped Spark the PC Revolution and Defined Intel for Decades
by Steven Leibson - May 4, 2022

The IBM PC (aka the IBM 5150) had such a massive impact on computing history that origin stories about the machine are legion. Many books have been written to tell the stories of a rag-tag group of isolated engineers in IBM’s Entry Systems Business, down in Boca Raton, Florida. William C. Lowe initially led the group. He got the job after he told IBM’s Corporate … Read More → "How the Intel 8088 Got Its Bus"
