The '''IBM Personal System/2 Model 60 Technical Reference''', '''First Edition (May 1988)''', is IBM's 56-page model-specific hardware and software interface reference for the [[IBM PS/2 Model 60|PS/2 Model 60]] (8560), the floor-standing 286 Micro Channel machine. It is the only technical reference IBM published for the Model 60 and '''the only edition''' — the 8560 was withdrawn before the October 1990 revision, so unlike the Models 50, 70 and 80 there is no later edition with a power supply chapter.
The '''IBM Personal System/2 Model 60 Technical Reference''' is IBM's 56-page model-specific interface reference for the [[IBM PS/2 Model 60|PS/2 Model 60]] (8560), the floor-standing 80286 Micro Channel machine, First Edition, May 1988. It is to be used with the ''PS/2 Hardware Interface Technical Reference'' and the ''PS/2 and PC BIOS Interface Technical Reference''. No later edition is hosted.

From the contents page (p. v):
* Section 1, System Overview (p. 1-1): description and model bytes, system board features, block diagram, I/O address map and specifications (p. 1-7), including physical specifications (Figure 1-5, p. 1-8).
* Section 2, Programmable Option Select (p. 2-1): POS address map, card selected feedback, system board enable/setup (hex 0094), POS registers 2 and 3 (hex 0102, 0103) and adapter enable/setup (hex 0096).
* Section 3, System Board (p. 3-1): Micro Channel adapter identification and central arbiter, ROM and RAM, the real-time clock and CMOS RAM (p. 3-10), NMI, system control ports B and A, power-on password (p. 3-25) and hardware compatibility (p. 3-26).
* Index.


* '''Section 1, System Overview''' — model and submodel bytes, system board devices and features, the block diagram and I/O address map, performance specifications and physical specifications.
== What this manual does not contain ==
* '''Section 2, Programmable Option Select''' — the POS address map and the system board and adapter setup registers.
It is a programming and interface reference: no FRU numbers, removal procedures, symptom index, schematics or component values. There is no power supply section; for supply checks use IBM's [[IBM Personal System 2 Hardware Maintenance Manual (S52G-9971-02, October 1994)|PS/2 Hardware Maintenance Manual]].
* '''Section 3, System Board''' — Micro Channel adapter identification and the central arbiter, the ROM and RAM subsystems, the system memory map and memory connectors, the RT/CMOS RAM address map and real-time clock bytes, system control ports A and B and the power-on password.
 
Physical specifications: 165 mm wide (318 mm with the feet extended), 483 mm deep, 597 mm high, 20 kg with one fixed disk drive, heat output 363.4 W.
 
== What it does not contain ==
 
This is a '''programming and interface reference, not a service manual'''. There are no FRU part numbers, no removal and replacement procedures, no symptom-to-FRU index and no component values — IBM put those in the model's Hardware Maintenance Reference and Hardware Maintenance Service pamphlets. There are no schematics; the planar is described as a block diagram and a set of register and connector tables.
 
It is also '''not self-contained'''. IBM split the PS/2 Technical Reference library into volumes, and this one carries only the model-specific part. Anything common to the family — Micro Channel architecture, the serial and parallel port controllers, the instruction sets, the keyboard scan codes — is in the ''Hardware Interface Technical Reference'' volumes, and BIOS in the ''BIOS Interface Technical Reference''.
 
The May 1988 editions in particular '''have no power supply section at all''' — IBM only added one to these books in the October 1990 revision. For rail voltages and protection limits on a May 1988 machine, use the October 1990 edition of the same technical reference, or the model's Hardware Maintenance Reference.

The Model 60 shares its tower chassis and its 20 kg / 597 mm dimensions with the [[IBM PS/2 Model 80|Model 80]], and its planar layout with the Model 50 family. Because there is no later edition, '''the rail and protection figures used on [[IBM PS/2 Model 60]] come from the Hardware Maintenance Manual, not from this book''' — if you are checking a Model 60 supply, cite [[IBM Personal System 2 Hardware Maintenance Manual (S52G-9971-02, October 1994)]] instead.
