IBM PC compatible - to be really usable on a PC. Lotus was so much faster that Context MBA was dead as soon as Lotus arrived. Disk copy-protection schemes, popular at the time, made direct access to the disk drive hardware precisely in order to write nonstandard data patterns, patterns that were illegal from the point of view of the OS and therefore could not be produced by standard OS calls. The microcomputer programming culture at the time was hacker-like, and enjoyed discovering and exploiting undocumented properties of the system. At first, "compatibles" did not really live up to their claim. Gradually vendors discovered, not only how to emulate the IBM BIOS, but the places where they needed to use identical hardware chips to perform key functions within the system. Reviewers and users developed suites.
