[ edit ] Date Event 1990 Motorola releases the 68040 capable of 35 MIPS and integrated a far superior FPU. The 68040 was included in some of the Apple Macintosh and Commodore Amiga lineup. March 19 Macintosh IIfx released. Based on a 40 MHz version of the 68030 it achieved 10 MIPS . It also had a faster SCSI adapter, which could transfer 3.0 Mbit/s. May 22 Introduction of Windows 3.0 by Microsoft . [ 1 ] It is a multitasking system that maintains compatibility with MS-DOS , allowing several MS-DOS tasks to be run at once on an 80386 or above. This created a real threat to the Macintosh and despite a similar product, IBM's OS/2, it was very successful. June Commodore releases the Amiga 3000 , the first 32-bit Amiga. It used a Motorola 68030 processor and the upgraded ECS chipset. Amiga OS 2.0 was released with the launch of the A3000, which exploited its 32-bit architecture. Later variants included the Amiga 3000UX, launched as a low end UNIX workstation, running UNIX System V . The A3000T was the first Amiga to use a tower form factor, which increased expansion potential. October 1 Microsoft Office released. [ 2 ] October 15 Macintosh Classic released, [ 3 ] an identical replacement to the Macintosh Plus of January 1986. Also came the Macintosh IIsi which ran a 68030 processor at 20 MHz to achieve 5.0 MIPS , and also a 256 colour video adapter. November 12 Tim Berners-Lee submitted a proposal to the management at CERN which coined the term WorldWideWeb . [ 4 ] November Macintosh LC released. This ran a 68020 processor at 16 MHz to achieve 2.6 MIPS , it had a slightly improved SCSI adapter and a 256 colour video adapter. 1990 Multimedia PC (MPC) Level 1 specification published by a council of companies including Microsoft and Creative Labs. This specified the minimum standards for a Multimedia IBM PC. The MPC level 1 specification originally required a 12 MHz 80286 microprocessor, but this was later revised to require a 16 MHz 80386SX microprocessor as the 80286 was realised to be inadequate. It also required a CD-ROM drive capable of 150 kB/s (single speed) and also of Audio CD output. Companies can, after paying a fee, use the MPC logo on their product.
[ edit ] Date Event 1991 Borland acquires Ashton-Tate Corporation and the Dbase program. 1991 Phil Zimmermann releases the public key encryption program PGP along with its source code, which quickly appears on the Internet. March Commodore release the CDTV , an Amiga multimedia appliance with CD-ROM drive but no floppy drive. April 22 The Intel 80486 SX is released as a cheaper alternative to 80486 DX, with the key difference being the lack of an integrated FPU . May Creative Labs introduces the Sound Blaster Pro sound card . June To promote OS/2 , Bill Gates took every opportunity after its release to say 'DOS is dead'; however, the development of DOS 5.0 led to the permanent dropping of OS/2 development.
[ edit ] Date Event 1992 First 64-bit microprocessors ; the first 64-bit variant of MIPS , the MIPS R4000 was introduced in 1992 (announced October 1, 1991) and another major RISC microprocessor, DEC Alpha (no longer produced), was also introduced in 1992. Intel had introduced the Intel i860 RISC microprocessor in 1989, marketed as a "64-bit microprocessor", while it had essentially a 32-bit architecture (non-pure "32/64-bit"), enhanced with a 3D graphics unit capable of 64-bit. Computers with 64-bit registers (but not addressing, and not microprocessors) had appeared decades earlier, as far back as IBM 7030 Stretch (considered a failure) in 1962, and in the Cray-1 supercomputer installed at Los Alamos National Laboratory in 1976. 1992

Many people began using the Internet, especially with the new interface provided by the World-Wide Web (see 1989) and NCSA Mosaic . 1993 Release of the first version of ELOQUENS , a text-to-speech commercial software, from CSELT . [ 12 ] 1993 The first web magazine, The Virtual Journal , is published but fails commercially. 1993 Novell purchases Digital Research ; DR DOS becomes Novell DOS. 1993 The MP3 file format was published. This sound format later became the most common standard for music on PCs and later digital audio players . [ 13 ] March Microsoft introduces MS-DOS 6.0, including DoubleSpace disk compression. March 22 Intel releases the P5 -based Pentium processor, 60 and 66 MHz versions. It has over 3.1 million transistors and can achieve up to 100 MIPS. John H. Crawford co-managed the design of the P5; [ 14 ] Donald Alpert managed the architectural team; [ 15 ] and Vinod K. Dham headed the P5 group. [ 16 ] May MPC Level 2 specification introduced (see November 1990). This was designed to allow playback of a 15 frames per second video in a 320x240 pixel window. The key difference from MPC level 1 is the requirement of a CD-ROM drive capable of 300 kB/s (double speed). Products are also required to be tested by the MPC council, making MPC Level 2 compatibility a stamp of certification. June Severe Tire Damage made the first live music performance on the Internet, using MBone technology. July 27 Microsoft released the Windows NT 3.1 operating system that supported 32-bit programs. December 10 Doom was released by id Software .
[ edit ] Date Event 1994 Several major PC games are released, such as Command & Conquer , Alone in the Dark 2 , Theme Park , Magic Carpet , Descent and Little Big Adventure . Other, less significant releases for the PC included Star Trek: The Next Generation: A Final Unity , Full Throttle and Terminal Velocity .
