README.md More details on the A20 problem with the DeskPro 386 ROM 2015-04-17 18:58:54 -07:00

Compaq DeskPro 386

I finally dumped the Compaq DeskPro 386/16 ROMs 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 to find Compaq Maintenance and Service guides online, but their Technical Reference guides are much rarer, perhaps because they were expensive ($149) and not many were sold. Anyway, I'm hoping to either borrow or buy a copy, and then scan and post it.

A Compaq DeskPro 386 test configuration is displayed below. It's located at:

/devices/pc/machine/compaq/deskpro386/ega/2048Kb/

The configuration doesn't run, and the debugger can't disassemble 80386-specific code yet, but this is what I will be using to test and debug my changes over the next few months.
