       #TodayinHistory 1986 - #IBM announces the IBM RT Personal Computer, using #RISC based technology from IBM's "801" project of the mid-70s. It is one of the first commercially-available 32-bit RISC-based computers. The base configuration has 1 MB RAM, a 1.2 MB floppy, and 40 MB hard drive, for US$11,700.The RT PC had little commercial success, IBM responded by introducing the RS/6000 workstations in 1990, which used a new IBM-proprietary RISC processor.#retrocomputing #retrocomputer

       @dirkdierickx actually have one of those, with full stack of manuals and disks. Haven't seen power in over 20 years and monitor is missing.
