I don't know about Compaq and the others, but, Tandy just released a
PS/2 compatible and according to what I've read, Tandy was licensed by
IBM to do so.  Since its unlikely that Tandy would release a new
micro-channel machine and then say they won't support its architecture,
I wouldn't put too much faith in that rumor.
