I finally dumped the [COMPAQ DeskPro 386/16 ROMs](/devices/pc/rom/compaq/deskpro386/) from the motherboard I bought
on ebay last year, so I'm ready to begin adding 80386 support to PCjs.
I'd also like to locate a copy of the "COMPAQ DeskPro 386 Technical Reference Guide, Volumes 1 and 2". It's not hard

There's still a problem with the hard disk controller, which I haven't looked into yet,
but booting from a floppy works.
While working through issues with this ROM BIOS, I created some lightly-annotated
[source code](/devices/pc/bios/compaq/deskpro386/1988-01-28/1988-01-28.asm) that can be re-assembled

a [ROM Dump](/devices/pc/rom/compaq/portable/) from COMPAQ's first machine, the COMPAQ Portable, but I had to buy
a system board on ebay to get it. Considering all the effort (and money) that COMPAQ invested in writing that code,
it's a bit depressing that these things haven't been properly preserved and memorialized.
