The '''IBM Personal System/2 Model 80 386 Technical Reference''', '''First Edition (May 1988)''', is IBM's 88-page model-specific hardware and software interface reference for the [[IBM PS/2 Model 80|PS/2 Model 80]] (8580). It is the '''middle''' of three Model 80 technical references hosted here, and by far the thinnest: the [[IBM PS2 Model 80 Technical Reference (April 1987)|April 1987 edition]] is a 612-page standalone book, and the [[IBM PS2 Model 80 Technical Reference (October 1990)|October 1990 edition]] adds a power supply chapter back.

It covers the Type 1 (16 MHz) and Type 2 (20 MHz) system boards, identified by model byte F8 and submodel 00 or 01 (Figure 1-1, p. 1-3), and is to be used with the ''PS/2 Hardware Interface Technical Reference'' and the ''PS/2 and PC BIOS Interface Technical Reference''.

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.

* [[IBM PS/2 Model 80]] cites it.
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''.
* [[IBM PS2 Model 80 Technical Reference (April 1987)]], [[IBM PS2 Model 80 Technical Reference (October 1990)]] and [[IBM PS2 Model 80 Schematics]] list it as related.
 
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 IBM Personal System/2 Model 80 Technical Reference (cover title) is IBM's 88-page model-specific interface reference for the PS/2 Model 80 (8580), First Edition, May 1988. It covers the Type 1 (16 MHz) and Type 2 (20 MHz) system boards, identified by model byte F8 and submodel 00 or 01 (Figure 1-1, p. 1-3), and is to be used with the PS/2 Hardware Interface Technical Reference and the PS/2 and PC BIOS Interface Technical Reference. The April 1987 single-volume book and the October 1990 edition are also hosted.
