For [[S-100 computer]]s, a low-cost alternative to using a regular computer terminal was to use a video card. The video card, however, used up some of the memory address space. The boot ROM would normally use up address space as well. SCP systems were designed to be used with a terminal, and the boot ROM could be disabled after boot-up. This made the entire 1 MB of memory address space available for RAM. IBM, on the other hand, had limited the address space in their [[IBM PC|PC]] to 640 KB of RAM due to video and boot/BIOS ROM. This limitation has been called the "DOS 640K barrier", but it had nothing to do with [[DOS]]. [[Microsoft]] took full advantage of the [[Seattle Computer Products|SCP]] system capability. In 1988, years after SCP had shut down, they were still using the SCP system for one task only it could perform ("linking the linker"). Their machine was equipped with the full 1 MB of RAM – 16 of the 64 KB cards. That machine could not be retired until 32-bit software tools were developed for [[Intel]]'s [[Intel 80386|386]] microprocessor.}}</ref> <ref name="Kontron_2021">{{cite book |title=Kontron User's Guide - COMe-cBTi6R |chapter= |version=Document Revision 1.0 |date=2021 |publisher=[[Kontron]] |pages=37, 60, 64 |url=https://www.kontron.com/download/download?filename=/downloads/manuals/cvvrm110.pdf&product=129903 |access-date=2023-09-23 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230923155029/https://www.kontron.com/download/download?filename=/downloads/manuals/cvvrm110.pdf&product=129903 |archive-date=2023-09-23 |quote-page= |quote=}} (89 pages)</ref> }}
