    IBM PS/V Vision Model 2408 (1992)

    2408-WMC
    The IBM PS/V series took its name from DOS/V (V for VGA), which was an
    industry standard that allowed computers to display Japanese script in
    higher resolution VGA graphics using software-defined character sets (as opposed to specialized hardware chips that preceded DOS/V). As a side
    effect of supporting higher-resolution graphics by default, the machines
    were generally well equipped for multimedia, often supporting CD-ROM
    drives, integrated sound hardware, and higher resolution graphics than
    most PC compatibles at the time. The Vision model seen here is an
    example of that multimedia emphasis.
