16-bit Intel 8088 chip

          with an Apple Macintosh
          you can't run Radio Shack programs
          in its disc drive.
          nor can a Commodore 64
          drive read a file
          you have created on an
          IBM Personal Computer.
          both Kaypro and Osborne computers use
          the CP/M operating system
          but can't read each other's
          handwriting
          for they format (write
          on) discs in different
          ways.
          the Tandy 2000 runs MS-DOS but
          can't use most programs produced for
          the IBM Personal Computer
          unless certain
          bits and bytes are
          altered
          but the wind still blows over
          Savannah
          and in the Spring
          the turkey buzzard struts and
          flounces before his
          hens.
