Yeah, I know right? But What I meant is that if IBM wanted to have control over their architecture, they should have though about incorporating custom chips to begin with instead of waiting 6 years before trying to protect their work from unlicensed copy.

Proprietary hardware isn't a problem though. Hell, many architecture were better documented than the IBM PC to begin with (IBM never really gave the specs of the ISA bus, I guess they hoped it would stop clone manufacturers).

Does the PC-XT support the additional function keys though? I see that the model F keyboard and my laptop XT clone lacks the F11 and F12 keys.
