Help is available for the following PCjs Machines:
If you want to know how to configure PCjs machines, here's what's been written so far:
* [C1Pjs](/docs/c1pjs/)
* [PCx86](/docs/pcx86/)

Instruction documentation is also available:
* [x86 Instructions](/docs/x86/)

For general historical interest, the project includes a [Publication Archive](/pubs/) that covers:

Personal Documents of Dubious Historical Interest
-------------------------------------------------
I'm kicking off this new section of the site with a couple of documents I created in 1984, detailing one of my early
adventures in PC debugging: decoding and removing [dBASE III Copy-Protection](#dbase-iii-copy-protection).

* [dBASE III Patching Procedure](/docs/personal/1984-09-25--DBASE_III_PATCH.pdf)
NOTE: Copies of the [dBASE III](/disks/pcx86/apps/other/dbase3/) disks can be found in our [IBM PC Disk Library](/disks/pcx86/).
