I emailed IBM. they said they transferred the stuff to someplace
called Greenleaf computers (I think, not sure). I didn't bother to
pursue it. They will be happy to give you the phone #.

still? If so
then I assume that they charge quite a bit of money for
them!
AFAIK, all are out of print, but IBM probably have some remaining stock
of most of them. I bought several manuals about a year ago.
The XT Model 286 manual is unavailable.
The others that you might need are :
PC
XT and Portable PC
AT
AT suplement for the type 2 board
(those contain schematics of the motherboard and keyboard, BIOS
Options and Adapters. 2 volumes covering just about every card for the
PC
and XT, monitors, drives, etc.
O&A AT update (16 bit cards, serial/parallel adapter, etc)
Scientific O&A (GPIB, DAC, PGC, etc)
PC-jr (PC-jr motherboard _and all option cards_ for it in one manual)
I posted the forms numbers (which you need to get them from IBM) on
this
list a few months back - it's probably in the
archives somewhere...
They're not cheap, but not too expensive IMHO. Figure on \pounds 50.00
per volume. I was pleasantly supprised by the ammount of information
that
I got.
