Hello all,
My latest "refocusing" of the collection is on IBM PC hardware
(PC/XT/AT, original IBM cards, peripherals, etc.) and on software IBM
sold for the PC line. In line with this, I'm also very interested in
any technical manuals IBM produced.
So far my meager technical manual collection is:
1. Guide to operations (PC, XT, AT)
2. Technical Reference (XT, AT)
3. Hardware Maintenance and Service (XT, AT)
All of the above are originals, and the AT Maintenance set includes
diagnostics from 1.01 to 1.05 along with loopback testers, and what
looks like a 10-BASE2 terminator (or maybe Arcnet??).
I'd like to get:
1. Technical Reference (PC)
2. Hardware Maintenance and Service (PC)
Original, copies, or scans will do ...
Also, I'm wondering what other technical manuals exist. I know there
is an "options and adapters" series, but what else is there?
FYI I have one new package here and it's binder is marked "IBM Personal
System/2 Hardware Maintenance Service". It includes two plastic sealed
packs of pages ~1/4" thick. One has the same name but it's number is
80x0880. The 2nd pack isn't titled but the top page is titled "Hard Tab
Installation". It's number is 80x0882. There's also a 3.5" disk in the
binder that's titled IBM Personal System/2 Model 50/60 Reference Diskette.
PN 15F1045. The binder is marked 68X2222 and S68X-2222-00.
I have others but they're all packed away.
Oh, and if anyone is junking a PC-1 (black power supply, 16-64KB
motherboard), I'll take it :-)
Those are getting VERY hard to find around here. I picked up a nice one
about 3 years ago and found a beat up one about a year ago (rescued for
parts) but those are the only ones that I've seen in about 4 or 5 years.
However I did find three IBM marked FH Tandon TM-100 5 1/4" disk drives
last week :-)
