[comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware] Compaq Deskpro

solomon@nike..FtCollins.NCR.com (Richard L. Solomon) (09/10/90)

I own an original Compaq Deskpro -- 4.77/7.14MHz 8086 machine.  I'd
like to make a few modifications to the system but I don't have schematics.
Compaq no longer produces the tech manual and most Compaq dealers have never
even heard of the machine.  If anyone out there has the tech manual, please
contact me.
 
Thanks in advance,

Have you tried an electronics store that carries Howard W. Sams service
manuals? I bet Sam's makes a manual for it. If they do, they are usually
much better than most tech manuals.

Yup, a while back I called the publisher of SAM's and they said there was no
such beast, and no plans for one either.  I think they have one for the 
original Compaq  (portable) but the DeskPro is world's apart.
