Awhile back we used to use the P-System for our freshman courses. The
P-system was notorious for it's dislike of clones.  All of our machines
are true Blue. Mostly PC-1s but a few PC-2s. A student bought an
IBM machine to insure compatability with the P-system. Unfortunatly
the P-system  did not like the latest change that IBM made to the BIOS.
The P-system just locked up the machine. What really made this student
mad was when another student with a Tandy 1000 said that the P-system
ran fine on his machine.

Even IBM is not "compatible" with itself.
