Preface
This publication describes the various units of the IBM Personal
Computer XT and IBM Portable Personal Computer; and the
interaction of each.
The information in this publication is for reference, and is
intended for hardware and program designers, programmers,
engineers, and anyone else with a knowledge of electronics
and/ or programming who needs to understand the design and
operation of the IBM Personal Computer XT or IBM Portable
Personal Computer.
This publication consists of two parts: a system manual and an
options and adapters manual.
The system manual is divided into the following sections:
Section 1, "System Board," discusses the component layout,
circuitry, and function of the system board.
Section 2, "Coprocessor," describes the Intel 8087
coprocessor and provides programming and hardware
interface information.
Section 3, "Power Supply," provides electrical input/output
specifications as well as theory of operation for both the IBM
Personal Computer XT power supply and the IBM Portable
Personal Computer power supply.
Section 4, "Keyboard," discusses the hardware make up,
function, and layouts of the IBM Personal Computer XT and
the IBM Portable Personal Computer keyboards.
Section 5, "System BIOS," describes the basic input/ output
system and its use. This section also contains the software
interrupt listing, a BIOS memory map, descriptions of vectors
with special meanings, and a set of low memory maps. In
addition, keyboard encoding and usage is discussed.
v
Section 6, "Instruction Set," provides a quick reference for the
8088 assembly instruction set.
Section 7, "Characters, Keystrokes, and Colors," supplies the
decimal and hexadecimal values for characters and text
attributes.
Section 8, "Communications,"describes communications
hardware and discusses communications interface standards
and the sequence of events to establish communications.
A glossary, bibliography, and index are also provided.
The Technical Reference options and adapters manual provides
information, logic diagrams, and specifications pertaining to the
options and adapters available for the IBM Personal Computer
family of products. The manual is modular in format, with each
module providing information about a specific option or adapter.
Modules having a large amount of text contain individual indexes.
The modules are grouped by type of device into the following
categories:
• Expansion Unit
• Displays
• Printers
• Storage Devices
• Memory Expansion
• Adapters
• Miscellaneous
• Cables and Connectors
Full page length hard tabs with the above category descriptions,
sep~rate the groups of modules.

The term" Technical Reference manual" in the option and adapter
manual, refers to the IBM Personal Computer XT /IBM Portable
Personal Computer Technical Reference system manual.
The term "Guide to Operations manual" in the option and adapter
manual, refers to either the IBM Personal Computer XT Guide to
Operations manual or the IBM Portable Personal Computer Guide
to Operations manual.
