The entrepreneurial PC

David, Bernard J.

This book shows the reader how to assemble an 80386 microcomputer at home using inexpensive mail order parts. No special technical know-how is required, only a pair of pliers and a couple of screwdrivers. The text provides step-by-step instructions and close-up photographs which lead do-it-yourself PC builders through each phase of the assembly process, explaining where each component goes, what it does and how it does it. Information is also provided on taking advantage of 386 and 386SX architecture, giving special attention to the latter's unique potential for inexpensive entry-level PC systems, and on how and where to buy the best, low-cost components.

Computers & Technology

Hardware & DIY

<p>For service technicians and advanced-level hobbyists, this book gives information on troubleshooting and repair of all types of computer printers in use - impact, ink-jet and thermal - down to mechanical, electromechanical and electronic component level. With the help of photographs and illustrations, the author discusses each component, how it works, how it interacts with other system components, and how to pinpoint and solve many of its common problems. The trouble shooting section looks at malfunctions that result from hardware and software incompatibility rather than electrical or mechanical failure. Preventive maintenance is discussed, and the book includes a chapter on printer/computer communication - another potential source of problems.</p>
