IBM PS2 Book

The hosted file, IBM PS2 Book.pdf, is IBM PC Institute's Personal Systems Reference: IBM PS/2, 1992 to 1995 – withdrawn, an 8-page PSREF book of configuration tables for the last PS/2 models, compiled by Roger Dodson of IBM. The individual tables are dated between February 1995 and January 1996. Despite the title "IBM PS2 Book", it is not a technical reference or service manual.
