That would require me to know, but I'm in the disinformed bunch. I
vaguely remember it being a standard used in Japanese PC's that never
caught on in the rest of the world - which of the choices in Wikipedia
makes it sound more like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NEC_PC-9801 than
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PC_System_Design_Guide#PC_98 - hopefully
someone else knows.
