IBM 8525, PERSONAL SYSTEM/2 (TM) MODEL 25 IBM Announcement Letter Number 187-148 dated August 4, 1987 IBM US - Last Revised on August 4, 1987 Brief Description of Announcement, Charges, and Availability The IBM Personal System/2 Model 25 (IBM 8525) is a low-priced, general-purpose computer system that accepts most current adapters and offers approximately two times the processor performance of current 8088 based IBM Personal Computers. The Model 25 uses the Intel 8086 processor and operates at 8MHz with no wait states to system memory. This system utilizes a single element system unit and display design that allows for maximum utilization of desk space and provides high-quality graphics consistent with the IBM Personal System/2 family of analog displays. The IBM 8525 Models 001 and 004 include the IBM Space Saving Keyboard designed for high productivity and with the same touch quality as other Personal System/2 keyboards. The 8525 Models G01 and G04 include the IBM Personal System/2 Enhanced Keyboard with numeric keypad. The IBM 8525 is available in both monochrome (8525-001 and 8525-G01) and color (8525-004 and 8525-G04) versions. All models come with one 3.5-inch (720KB) diskette drive, 512KB of Random Access Memory (RAM), keyboard and a 12-inch analog display. Two features are announced to upgrade the function of all models. A second 3.5-inch (720KB) diskette drive and an additional 128KB RAM of memory are available.

Customer Letter Section HIGHLIGHTS o Enhanced price performance o Approximately two times the processor speed of 8088 based IBM Personal Computers o Graphics adapter displays up to 256 colors out of 262,144 colors or displays 64 shades of gray (Multi Color Graphics Array) o Graphics adapter, diskette drive adapter, serial and parallel ports included o New design, smaller size with reduced power requirements o 12-inch color or monochrome graphics analog displays o Advanced technology eliminating customer setup switches o One-year warranty DESCRIPTION The IBM Personal System/2 Model 25 uses advanced technology to provide existing IBM Personal Computer functions at an attractive price. Two card slots provide increased compatibility by allowing the attachment of many existing personal computer feature cards. A 12-inch analog display (color or monochrome), display adapter, RS-232-C serial adapter, parallel adapter and diskette adapter are standard, increasing base function while reducing price. This general-purpose system is based on an 8086 microprocessor, running at 8MHz, with no wait states to system memory, which results in an internal processing speed approximately twice that of 8088 based IBM Personal Computers. STANDARD FEATURES All models include the following: o 512KB random access memory (RAM) expandable to 640KB on the system board o Diskette adapter supporting up to two 3.5-inch 720KB drives o 12-inch analog display (color or monochrome) o Multi Color Graphics Array (MCGA (R)) with 64KB display buffer o Serial port o Parallel port o Pointing device port o Keyboard port o IBM Space Saving Keyboard or IBM Personal System/2 Enhanced Keyboard o Audio earphone connector o Socket for a Math Co-Processor o One full-size and one 8-inch general-purpose slot to accommodate IBM 5150 Personal Computer, Personal Computer XT (TM), and some non-IBM personal computer option cards that do not exceed 0.8-inch thickness. (TM) Trademark of the International Business Machines Corporation. (R) Registered trademark of the International Business Machines Corporation. Multi Color Graphics Array (MCGA), the graphics adapter function that has been integrated into the planar, supports all existing Color Graphics Adapter (CGA) modes. In addition to providing existing CGA mode support, four new expanded modes are included in MCGA (640 x 350 line mode not supported): o 640 by 480 by 2 colors out of 262,144 colors -- all points addressable o 320 by 200 by 256 colors out of 262,144 colors -- all points addressable o 40 by 25 by 16 colors out of 262,144 colors -- text (8 x 16 character box) o 80 by 25 by 16 colors out of 262,144 colors -- text (8 x 16 character box). The integrated MCGA will automatically use up to 64 shades of gray in converting color modes of operations for display on the IBM 8525-001 and 8525-G01 (monochrome model). This allows users who prefer a monochrome display to execute color graphics applications. MODELS o 8525-001 -- Single element central processing unit with 12-inch monochrome analog display, 512KB RAM, one 3.5-inch 720KB diskette drive, IBM Space Saving Keyboard o 8525-G01 -- Single element central processing unit with 12-inch monochrome analog display, 512KB RAM, one 3.5-inch 720KB diskette drive, IBM Enhanced Keyboard o 8525-004 -- Single element central processing unit with 12-inch color analog display, 512KB RAM, one 3.5-inch 720KB diskette drive, IBM Space Saving Keyboard. o 8525-G04 -- Single element central processing unit with 12-inch color analog display, 512KB RAM, one 3.5-inch 720KB diskette drive, IBM Enhanced Keyboard.

The 8525-G01 (monochrome analog display) and 8525-G04 (color analog display) come standard with 512KB RAM, one 3.5-inch 720KB diskette drive, an IBM Enhanced Keyboard, and a 12-inch analog display. PROGRAMMING REQUIREMENTS: IBM DOS Version 3.30 is required. COMPATIBILITY: The IBM Personal System/2 Model 25 is compatible with the 8088 based IBM 5150 Personal Computer and Personal Computer XT at the BIOS level and at most hardware interfaces. Most existing personal computer software and non-timing dependent options work in all models. Due to the high level of integration of the Model 25, options such as Personal Computer or Personal Computer XT memory upgrades, and graphic adapters are not supported. The integrated Multi Color Graphics Adapter (MCGA) does not support MODE 7, MODE MONO, the mode that supports the 5151 Monochrome Display. Specific software supported in the IBM Personal System/2 environment is listed in the attachment section at the end of this letter. LIMITATIONS: The IBM Personal System/2 Model 25 does not support digital display devices. IBM Personal Computer and Personal Computer XT option cards that exceed 0.8-inch thickness are not supported. PLANNING INFORMATION CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITIES: The IBM 8525 is designated as customer setup (CSU). Setup instructions are included with the system unit or features. CSU allowance is one day. CABLE ORDERS: There are no cabling requirements other than for system power. Instructions are provided as part of initial system setup. INSTALLABILITY: Using the setup instructions, the user attaches the keyboard, verifies the power range setting, plugs in the line cord and inserts the Starter Diskette. Power is then turned on and the user follows the instructions of the Starter Diskette to complete the setup. To simplify setup, there are no system setup switches. PROBLEM DETERMINATION: If a failure is found during the Power-On Self Test (POST), an error code appears on the screen. If the test is successfully completed, the system attempts to load an operating system from the A drive. If an operating system is not found, the user is prompted, via an icon, to insert a diskette. A final default is provided through use of a ROM loaded BASIC interpreter as more fully explained in the Guide to Operations (GTO). The trouble-shooting procedures consist of a power-on self-test, diagnostic tests, and easy-to-follow trouble-shooting charts designed to assist the customer in isolating a defective machine or machine element. The failing machine or machine element can then be repaired or exchanged under existing warranty provisions. PACKAGING: The IBM 8525 (8525-001, G01, 004, or G04) is packaged in two non-language sensitive cartons: o Keyboard carton (1393279 or 1393490) - Keyboard - Keyboard cable o System unit carton (8525-001, 004, G01, or G04) - System unit - System unit power cable - Guide to Operations, Setup Sheet with descriptive pictures, and Starter Diskette. ACCESSORIES AND/OR SUPPLIES: The following supply item is available for the IBM Personal System/2 Model 25. For availability and pricing information, call IBM Direct at 800-426-2468. PART NUMBER DESCRIPTION 6404107 3.5-inch, 1.0MB Diskette (10-Pack) NOTE: The 2.0MB diskette (6404078) is not supported. SECURITY, AUDITABILITY, AND CONTROL The IBM 8525 security, auditability and control features include a bolt-down feature that allows the user to physically secure the system unit to a table or desk. Three holes are provided in the system unit. Using the center hole only allows the user to rotate and tilt the system unit. If the two outside holes are used, the system unit will tilt, but will not rotate. User management is responsible for evaluation, selection, and implementation of security features, administrative procedures, and appropriate controls in application systems and communications facilities.
