However, poor marketing and failure to repeat the technological advances of the first systems meant that the Amiga quickly lost its market share to competing platforms, such as the fourth generation game consoles, Apple Macintosh and IBM PC compatibles.

However, the battle was in vain, as neither platform captured a significant share of the world computer market and only the Apple Macintosh would survive the industry-wide shift to Microsoft Windows running on PC clones.

However, the widespread distribution of PC systems and the violence and gore of Doom made deathmatching particularly attractive.

However, because of the success of the IBM Personal Computer, the term PC came to mean more specifically a microcomputer compatible with IBM's PC products.

However, because its integrated hardware was incompatible with the hardware used in the original IBM PC, the 80286 was used as the successor instead in the IBM PC / AT.

However, during the 3-plus decades of PC architecture being constantly updated, multiple types of keyboard layout variations have been developed.

However, some games, such as the Halo series, ( except for Halo PC and Custom Edition, which allow AI and custom objects and characters ), allow filming only through puppetry.

However, due to the 68010's small speed boost over the 68000 and its support for virtual memory it can be found in a number of smaller Unix systems, both with the 68451 MMU ( in the Torch Triple X ), and with a custom MMU ( such as the Sun-2 Workstation, AT & T UNIX PC, the NCR Tower XP and early HP9000s like the Model 300 and 310 ) and various research machines.

However as a concession to this the most recent Hi-MD players can upload to PC a Digitally Recorded file which can subsequently be resaved as a WAV ( PCM ) file and thus replicated.

However, following its release, the IBM PC itself was widely imitated, as well as the term.

However, in order to provide maximum performance and leverage hardware features ( or work around hardware bugs ), PC applications quickly evolved beyond the simple terminal applications that MS-DOS supported directly.

However, IBM itself lost the main role in the market for IBM PC compatibles by 1990.

However, the line between workstation and PC is increasingly becoming blurred as the demand for fast computers, networking and graphics have become common in the consumer world, allowing workstation manufacturers to use " off the shelf " PC components and graphics solutions as opposed to proprietary in-house developed technology.

However, LSI had steered clear of getting involved with PC technologies that would make it a competitor with Intel.

However, the in-game controls, while having big icons that would be later used in the PlayStation, Sega Saturn, and Game Boy Advance ports of the game, were actually considered to be far easier to use than the original controls for the PC version of the game.

However, writers of software which required fast performance made direct calls to the IBM PC hardware instead of going through the operating system, resulting in PC-specific software which performed better than other MS-DOS and CP / M-86 versions ; for example, games would display fast by writing to video memory directly instead of suffering the delay of making a call to the operating system, which would then write to a hardware-dependent memory location.

However by the time it appeared the PC with its flexibility of combining WP with other programs such as spreadsheets had rendered such a specific task machine largely unsellable.

However, being substantially more expensive than WebTV ( which at this time was typically $ 50 after rebate ) and lacking many features that PC users and WebTV users found standard, the Companion never found a customer base.

However, in The Blue Lamp, Dixon has a wife named Em ( Gladys Henson ) and it is mentioned that their only son, Bert, was killed in the Second World War – hence Dixon adopts a paternal aspect towards PC Andy Mitchell ( Jimmy Hanley ), a young policeman on his first day.

However, more and more video games are now being developed using software that can output code for one or more consoles as well as for a PC without the need for actual porting.

However, it was eventually revealed that the " Orchard deal " promised a review of the PC Party's policies on the North American Free Trade Agreement, no merger or joint candidates with the Canadian Alliance, and a promise to redouble efforts to rebuild the national status of the Progressive Conservative Party.

However, one track was reserved by DOS for directory and file allocation information ( so-called BAM, Block Allocation Map ).

However, Edlin is included in 32-bit versions of Windows NT, since NTVDM's DOS support is based on MS-DOS version 5. 0.

However, the DOS / drives, and 360 kB with DSDD disks / drives.

However, the engineers at OKB-1 immediately switched from the L3 lunar lander effort, which was perceived as an dead-end, to start work on DOS – despite fears that it would kill the Soviet manned Moon shot.

However, the integration of DOS into Windows 95 was the masterstroke: not only were the other operating system vendors frozen out, Microsoft could now require computer manufacturers to comply with its demands on pain of higher prices ( as when it required IBM to stop actively marketing OS / 2 or else pay more than twice as much for Windows 95 as its competitor Compaq ) or by withholding " Designed for Windows 95 " endorsement ( which was regarded as an essential hardware marketing tool ).

However, the GE-635 architecture was very different from the IBM System / 360 and GECOS was more ambitious than DOS / 360.

However when using a mouse ( in the DOS and Amiga versions ), the full names of the spells would appear in a list to choose from.

However, the common DOS style Master boot record partition table only supports disk partitions up to 2 TiB in size.

However, SCARE is an ANSI / ISO C secondary clone of jAsea and the project has resulted in the ability to play ADRIFT games on several platforms including Linux, Windows, DOS, Macintosh and Amiga.

However, the adjustable clock rate on the DOSBox DOS emulator allows the original code to run at speeds similar to those on the original hardware.

However, in 1984 Mindscape, Inc. released an interactive version of Racter for DOS, Amiga and Apple II computers, developed by Inrac Corporation.

However, given that it is one of the most resource-demanding DOS games ever released commercially, even many modern computers struggle to run it.

However this was only possible in DOS by directly programming the hardware, and full-featured " hardware acceleration " from the local memory was never implemented on these cards, due to complexities of double buffering.

However, the grouping of files into directories ( for operating systems such as DOS, Unix, Linux ) or folders ( for the Mac OS and Windows ) is done by changing an index of file information known as the File Allocation Table ( NTFS for recent versions of Windows ) or Master File Table ( depending on operating system used ).

However, it lacked the versatility of running unmodified DOS programs.

However, the open-source DOS emulator DOSBox provides one way to remedy this ; and to save users having to configure said program themselves, downloadable patches have been released that allow the game to be played on various other OSs.

However, a bug in all versions of MS-DOS / PC DOS up to including 7. 10 will cause these operating systems to crash on boot, if encountering volumes with 256 heads.

However, unlike some other DOS extenders, PMODE does not require the presence of a memory manager, although it is compatible with both XMS ( such as that of HIMEM. SYS ) and VCPI ( provided by Expanded Memory Managers, like EMM386. EXE or QEMM ), and will make use of those services if available.

However, only limited information about the electronic structure can be extracted by this method, since the constant topographs depend on the tip and sample DOS ’ s and the tunneling transmission probability, which depends on the tip-sample spacing, as described in equation ( 5 ).

However, unlike VFAT, OS / A + 4. 1 disks were not backward compatible with earlier systems ; Atari DOS or OS / A + 2. 1 could not read disks formatted by OS / A + 4. 1, breaking backward compatibility.

However, not all DOS programs could execute in this environment.

However, DOS XL was dropped in favor of ICD's SpartaDOS.

However, the DOS / Windows specific functions were replaced by similar Windows NT concerns.
