"The IBM PS/ValuePoint (or just ValuePoint) personal computer was IBM's answer to the PC clone market, where the IBM PS/2 could not compete due to price and proprietary interfaces. Announced in October 1992 and withdrawn in July 1995, it was replaced by the IBM PC Series 300. These systems used standard ISA-bus architecture, SVGA graphics and IDE hard disks. Later models introduced VESA Local Bus and PCI. Processors range from the 386SLC-25, 486SX-25, 486DX-33, and 486DX2-66 to the Pentium 60. IBM PS/ValuePoints were shipped in the following form factors:http://psref.lenovo.com/syspool/Sys/PDF/withdrawnbook/vpbook.pdf *Space saving desktop introductory: IBM 6381 model #: /Si (3 expansion card slots & 3 drive bays) *Space saving desktop: IBM 6382 model #: /S (3 expansion card slots & 3 drive bays) *Desktop: IBM 6384 model #: /D (5 expansion card slots & 5 drive bays) *Mini Tower: IBM 8387 model #: /T (8 expansion slots & 6 drive bays) Predecessor The IBM PS/ValuePoint series was preceded by these series: * IBM PS/1 * IBM PS/2 Concurrent The IBM PS/ValuePoint series was sold concurrently with these series: * IBM Ambra * IBM Aptiva ValuePoint modelshttps://web.archive.org/web/20110930123108/http://www.lenovo.com/psref/pdf/vpbook.pdf * 325T and 325T/S (small desktop) ** IBM 386SLC at 25 MHz ** 16 MB maximum memory ** Cirrus Logic CL5422 video controller with 1 MB ** ISA bus architecture * 425SX ** Intel 486SX at 25 MHz ** 32 MB max memory ** Tseng Labs ET4000 video controller with 1 MB ** ISA bus architecture * 433DX ** Intel 486DX at 33 MHz ** 32 MB max memory ** Tseng Labs ET4000 video controller with 1MB ** ISA bus architecture * 466DX2 ** Intel 486DX2 at 66 MHz ** 32 MB max memory ** Tseng Labs ET4000 video controller with 1 MB ** ISA bus architecture * 425SX/S (small desktop) and 425SX/D (desktop) ** Intel 486SX at 25 MHz ** 64 MB max memory ** S3 86C805 video controller with 1 MB (expandable to 2 MB) ** ISA/VESA Local bus architecture * 433SX/S (small desktop) and 433SX/D (desktop) ** Intel 486SX at 33 MHz ** 64 MB max memory ** S3 86C805 video controller with 1MB (expandable to 2 MB) ** ISA/VESA local bus architecture * 433DX/S (small desktop), 433DX/D (desktop) and 433DX/T (tower) ** Intel 486DX at 33 MHz ** 64 MB max memory ** S3 86C805 video controller with 1 MB (expandable to 2 MB) ** ISA/VESA local bus architecture * 466DX2/D (desktop) and 466DX2/T (tower) ** Intel 486DX2 at 66 MHz ** 64 MB max memory ** S3 86C805 video controller with 1 MB (expandable to 2 MB) ** ISA/VESA Local bus architecture * P60/D (desktop) ** Intel Pentium 60 ** 128 MB max memory ** ATI 68800AX video controller with 1 MB (expandable to 2 MB) ** ISA/PCI bus architecture Performance models * 433SX/Sp (small desktop) or 433SX/Dp (desktop) ** Intel 486DX at 33 MHz ** 128MB max memory ** S3 Vision864 video controller with 1 MB (expandable to 2 MB) ** ISA/VESA Local bus architecture * 433DX/Sp (small desktop) or 433DX/Dp (desktop) ** Intel 486DX at 33 MHz ** 128 MB max memory ** S3 Vision864 video controller with 1 MB (expandable to 2 MB) ** ISA/VESA local bus architecture * 450DX2/Sp (small desktop) or 450DX2/Dp (Desktop) ** Intel 486DX2 at 50 MHz ** 128 MB max memory ** S3 Vision864 video controller with 1 MB (expandable to 2 MB) ** ISA/VESA Local bus architecture * 466DX2/Sp (small desktop), 466DX2/Dp (desktop) or 466DX2/Tp (tower) ** Intel 486DX2 at 66 MHz ** 128 MB max memory ** S3 Vision864 video controller with 1MB (expandable to 2MB) ** ISA/VESA Local bus or ISA/PCI architecture * 100DX4/Sp (small desktop) or 100DX4/Tp (Tower) ** Intel 486DX4 at 100 MHz ** 128MB max memory ** S3 Vision864 video controller with 1 MB (expandable to 2 MB) ** ISA/VESA local bus or ISA/PCI architecture Low-cost entry models * 425SX/Si ** Intel 486SX at 25 MHz ** 64 MB max memory ** Cirrus Logic GD5428 video controller with 512 KB (expandable to 1 MB) ** ISA/VESA local bus architecture * 433DX/Si ** Intel 486DX at 33 MHz ** 64 MB max memory ** Tseng Labs ET4000/W32 video controller with 512 KB (expandable to 1 MB) ** ISA/VESA local bus architecture * 466DX2/Si ** Intel 486DX2 at 66 MHz ** 64 MB max memory ** Tseng Labs ET4000/W32 video controller with 512 KB (expandable to 1 MB) ** ISA/VESA local bus architecture Monitor The PS/ValuePoint was shipped with the following monitors: * PS/2 8511, color (S)VGA (shipped with 325T) http://ps-2.kev009.com/pcpartnerinfo/ctstips/d7aa.htm * 6312, color (S)VGAhttp://ps-2.kev009.com/pcpartnerinfo/ctstips/b5ae.htm * 6314, color (S)VGAhttp://ps-2.kev009.com/pcpartnerinfo/ctstips/34f2.htm * 6317, color (S)VGAhttp://ps-2.kev009.com/pcpartnerinfo/ctstips/fee6.htm * 6319, color (S)VGAhttp://ps-2.kev009.com/pcpartnerinfo/ctstips/bcfa.htm Successor The IBM PS/ValuePoint series was succeeded by these series: * IBM PC Series References External links *IBM ValuePoint Personal Systems Reference Guide *German dealer listing with detailed model configuration info PS ValuePoint "
"USS Exploit (MSO-440) was an . The ship was laid down on 28 December 1951 at Higgins Inc., New Orleans, Louisiana and launched on 10 April 1953. The vessel was commissioned USS Exploit (AM-440) on 31 March 1954 and redesignated as an ocean minesweeper MSO-440 on 7 February 1955. As built the vessel was armed one single 40 mm gun mount on the bow and two .50 caliber machine guns. The ship's final weapons configuration replaced the bow gun with one twin 20 mm gun mount while maintaining the two .50 caliber machine guns. Service history USS Exploit arrived at Charleston, South Carolina, her home port on 13 March 1955, and began her participation in major fleet exercises, and local and Caribbean Sea training. In 1954, 1957, and 1958, she served with the U.S. 6th Fleet in the Mediterranean Sea, participating in exercises and visiting a variety of ports. Her stateside schedule through June 1960 included work in experimental development of mine warfare and defense in Florida waters. On 28 October 1960 USS Exploit again sailed for duty with the U.S. 6th Fleet and remained there through the end of the year. Exploit was decommissioned on 16 December 1993 and laid up in the Atlantic Reserve Fleet, Naval Inactive Ship Maintenance Facility at Portsmouth, Virginia. The ship was struck from the Naval Register on 28 March 1994 and sold on 4 December 2000 to Baltimore Marine Industries, Baltimore, Maryland, for scrapping.
