Line 1: Since the rise of the [[personal computer]] in the 1980s, [[IBM]] and other vendors have created '''PC-based IBM-compatible mainframes''' which are compatible with the larger IBM [[~~mainframes~~mainframe computer]]s. They are also referred to as ''plug-compatible mainframes'', a term used for the original [[System/360]] and [[System/370\|370]] compatible clones. The original advantage being that the PC-based mainfarmes had a much smaller footprint, required less power, and cost less money. ==Background==
