Compaq Deskpro 386

Compaq · 1986

The machine that broke IBM's grip. Compaq shipped a 386 in 1986, a full year before IBM, and the industry realised the standard no longer belonged to IBM at all — from here on it belonged to Intel and Microsoft. Arguably the single most consequential PC clone ever made.
