...machine around two widely available components, the Microsoft Disk Operating System (MS DOS) and the Intel 8088 microprocessor chip. Reason: IBM wanted to use standard equipment so that software companies would write programs for its computer. The only element of the PC that IBM copyrighted was the integrated circuit called the Basic Input Output System (BIOS), which controlled how the software interacted with the hardware. But by building circuits that simulated the BIOS, enterprising computer jocks created machines that could legally run the same software as IBM's machine...
...makers of IBM-compatibles simply clone the features from the PC. Chatsworth, Calif.-based Tandon, which originally built disk drives for IBM, announced last week that it would begin marketing an IBM-compatible that features its own integrated circuit technology. Tandon, which expects to charge $1,155 for its new machine, is able to curb costs by manufacturing some of its components at plants in India...

Reynolds, who has been touring with her own show on the variety circuit, phoned O'Connor, who had been appearing in a nostalgia-trip revival of Showboat, and the two tried out their act in a smash stint three months ago in Atlantic City. Their 1 1/2-hour show will cover four decades of music, from Singin' through today's hits, but, says O'Connor...
