The Philips :YES was a home computer/personal computer released by Philips Austria, in 1985.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] It was not fully IBM PC compatible,[4][9] a reason given for its commercial failure. The system was only sold in limited quantities.

Technical specifications

The built-in graphics hardware (based on the Hitachi HD46505SP video controller[16][17]) supported composite video output. An additional video module allowed output to TTL monochrome monitors, colour monitors or SCART televisions.[18]

Video RAM was shared with system RAM. Before using graphics modes, memory had to be allocated for them with the GRAPHICS or GRCHAR commands.[18]

An expansion card (the Professional Expansion Board) provided:[19]

An additional expansion card was available in limited quantity (probably only sold in the Netherlands directly to Philips employees) to make it 100% IBM PC compatible. This card was made of two separate cards, one for the actual compatibility, which ended in an 8 bit ISA slot, where an Hercules Graphics Card monochrome video card was plugged in. This also meant that using this card, would require to plug the monitor into the new video card, bypassing the onboard graphical card. This expansion card made it possible to run all DOS programs (including popular games at that time).

Operating system versions

Known operating systems adapted for the Philips :YES include:

  • DOS Plus 1.? in ROM (with BDOS 4.1). The BDOS in ROM does not implement the S_OSVER call, which would have returned the version number to display.
  • DOS Plus 1.1 on disk (with BDOS 4.1)[21]
  • DOS Plus 1.2 on disk (with BDOS 4.1)
  • DOS Plus 2.1 on disk (with BDOS 5.0)

Gabbro

Coarse-grained mafic intrusive rock Gabbro specimen Photomicrograph of a thin section of gabbro Gabbro (/ˈɡæbroʊ/ GAB-roh) is a phaneritic (coarse-grained and magnesium- and iron-rich), mafic intrusive igneous rock formed from the slow cooling magma into a holocrystalline mass deep beneath the Earth's surface. Slow-cooling, coarse-grained gabbro is chemically equivalent to rapid-cooling, fine-grained basalt. Much of the Earth's oceanic crust is made of gabbro, formed at mid-ocean ridges. ...
