Hello, all:
I was reading an older book on MSDOS and it referred to the "IBM PC
Options and Adapters Technical Reference" which supposedly had detailed info
and schematics for all of IBM's adapter cards for the PC. It sounds like an
interesting addition to my PC technical reference materials.
Does anyone have a copy of this that I can copy? Joe Rigdon?

Rich,
Nope, I've never seen one. I've had a lot of different tech refs for
the various models of IBM computers but I've never seen one just for the
adapter cards. However I'll look around for it.

"Technical Reference : Options and Adapters"
MULTIPLE volumes:
Volume 1 (Revised edition April 1984) #6322509
Volume 2 (Revised edition April 1984) #6322509
Volume 3 ~8/84 #8322522
As IBM came out with more stuff, eventually the Technical Reference became
too big to fit in one binder. They stopped including the source code for
the BIOS!, and split it into multiple books. "Options and Adapters" has a
lot of the later stuff that wouldn't fit in the original Technical
Reference, such as the GPIB board, the PGA, and the ROLM integrated board,
etc.
But other than the later additions, the coverage of all of the earlier
stuff is no different than in the original Technical Reference.
AFTER I figure out just what survived the move, I'll sell my duplicates.
(I will have some extras of the volume 1 and 2 sets)

I have a copy and, surprise, I actually do know where it is! I just came
across it the other day. It's a three volume set, but I'm missing volume
2 presently (I'm sure I have it somewhere else).
Contact me directly and we can work out copying details.
