OVERVIEW
There are many sources of information available from IBM about IBM PC products,
including announcement letters, service manuals, programming and technical
reference manuals, how-to "cookbooks," electronic bulletin boards (both public
and IBM-use only), and others. The IBM PS Assistant brings much disparate and
often difficult to find information together into one easy-to-use "electronic
book."
Note: As the Assistant is a product of the IBM PC Company, the information
contained herein covers the subset of IBM PC products sold by the IBM PC
Company. Most other PC-related products, sold by other IBM companies or
divisions are not included. Such products include the IBM Gearbox industrial
PCs, and certain host-attach hardware and software products, such as the
Channel-Attach Adapter/A for PS/2s, for example. Information on these product
must be obtained from the organizations offering them for sale.
The IBM PS Assistant is an online help tool composed of PC and OS/2-related
marketing, service, technical and general information. The books include the:
1. IBM PS Marketing Assistant (filename PS2A_MKT.INF), which contains:
IBM product industry awards and reviews.
IBM PC Factory Outlet catalog.
IBM PC hardware and software part number lists and descriptions.
IBM publication ordering information.
Feature Code/Part Number cross-reference.
PC features cross-reference.
Promotional and upgrade information.
Marketing Qs & As, and more.
2. IBM PS Service Assistant (PS2A_SVC.INF), which contains:
Hardware and OS/2 error code information.
Latest DOS and OS/2 CSD information.
DOS and OS/2 diskette manifests.
Latest Reference and Diagnostic Diskettes list.
Micro Channel adapter ADF file cross-reference.
PC System/Monitor warranty information.
Hardware and software service tips and Qs & As, and more.
3. IBM PS Technical Assistant (PS2A_TEC.INF), which contains:
Hundreds of hardware and software Qs & As, technical tips and
compatibility tables.
4. IBM PS Technical Specifications Assistant #1 (PS1A_TSP.INF), which
contains:
Lengthy technical specifications documents for Aptiva, PS/1,
PS/VP, and ISA PS/2, PC 300/700 Series, and ThinkPad systems and
related monitors, past and present.
5. IBM PS Technical Specifications Assistant #2 (PS2A_TSP.INF), which
contains:
Lengthy technical specifications documents for Micro Channel PS/2,
PC 700 Series and ThinkPad systems and related monitors, past and
present.
6. IBM PS General Information Assistant (PS2A_GEN.INF), which contains:
IBM telephone numbers.
Non-IBM technical support telephone numbers.
A list of OS/2-related BBSes.
A list of OS/2-related PC User Groups.
An acronyms and abbreviations list.
The reason for having a number of different books instead of just one large
one is two-fold. First, there is so much information provided that it might
be awkward to use, and would take longer to search through than smaller books.
And second, by dividing up all of this information into related subject
matter, those who don't need certain categories of information (such as
service tips, for example), can delete entire books to save disk space.
Besides, these files may be logically linked together and viewed or searched
as one large book, at your preference. (This procedure is explained in the
accompanying PS2ASST.TXT file.) For convenience, the files will be
collectively called the "PS Assistant" throughout the rest of this document.
Not only is the information more "centrally located" this way than distributed
across all the individual documents, but due to its electronic nature, the
specific information you seek can be found more quickly and easily. The
source information is compiled into binary files that take roughly half as
much disk space as ASCII files would. And since the compiler also creates a
"data dictionary" of all words and numbers anywhere in the files, all
occurrences can be found and displayed on-screen in only a few seconds via the
search facility provided. In addition, hypertext links (hyperlinks) allow you
to jump from section to section within a book without ever having to return to
the Table of Contents. Hyperlinks are also used to display popup footnote
windows at the point of the footnote reference, rather than making you have to
scroll down to the bottom of a page, or the end of a chapter, to find the
footnoted information.
The PS Assistant is created by compiling a scripted ASCII text file, using the
Information Presentation Facility (IPF) Tag Language and Compiler. They are
included in the OS/2 2.1 Developer's Toolkit (P/N 61G1416--3.5"/CD-ROM;
61G1416--5.25"/CD-ROM), Hyperwise editor (P/N 83G7829--3.5"), and C Set++
First Step V2.1 (P/N 82G3744--3.5"; 82G3746--CD-ROM") packages. The PS
Assistant requires OS/2 1.2 or later to operate, because it uses the OS/2
VIEW.EXE command to access the files. This is the same command used to
display the online OS/2 Command Reference. Since both files were created with
the same compiler, and are displayed by the same command, they look and act
very much alike. So if you know how to use one, you also know how to use the
other.
Note: The PS Assistant was tested, and does work, across an OS/2 LAN Server
V1.2-V3.0 network, relieving the need for disk space on the requester, not to
mention not having to keep all those requesters updated with the latest
versions of the PS Assistant books. (For instructions on Setting Up an OS/2
LAN Server to Share Online Books, see the document by the same name in the
Networking Tips section of the PS Technical Assistant.)
HOW TO USE THE PS ASSISTANT
Before you begin to use this tool, it is helpful to understand how to:
Expand the Contents to see all available topics
Obtain additional information for a highlighted word or phrase
Use action bar choices.
How to use the Table of Contents
When the Contents window first appears, some topics have a plus (+) sign
beside them. The plus sign indicates that additional topics are available.
To expand the Contents if you are using a mouse, click on the plus sign. If
you are using the keyboard, use the Up or Down Arrow key to highlight the
topic, and press the plus (+) key. For example, Part Number / Pricing /
Availability List has a plus sign beside it. To see the complete list of Part
Numbers, etc, click on the plus sign or highlight that topic and press the
plus (+) key.
To view a topic, double-click on the topic (or press the Up or Down Arrow key
to highlight the topic, and then press the Enter key).
Note: To exit from any panel (window), including this one, simply press the
ESC key, or double-click on the icon to the left of the panel title bar (NOT
the one to the left of the PS Assistant title bar, or you will close the PS
Assistant). This will return you to the point from which you entered the
panel (either the Table Of Contents or another panel). This may be done a
number of times in succession to step back through layers of panels, or until
the TOC is reached.
How to obtain additional information
After you select a topic, the information for that topic appears in a window.
Words, phrases, or numbers highlighted like this or this indicate that
additional information is available, either in the form of a footnote, or
sometimes an entire section. Hyperlinks are used in some areas to help you
jump from one section of a document directly to another, without having to
return to a menu. (If you don't find this color to be easily identifiable as a
hyperlink, you may change the color, as described below.) Use the mouse, or
Tab and Enter keys, to move between all the hyperlinks within a document. For
example:
Certain words in the following section are highlighted in this way. If you
are using a mouse, double-click on the highlighted words. If you are using a
keyboard, press the Tab key to move from one highlighted word to the next, (or
Shift-Tab to backup) and then press the Enter key. Additional information
will appear in a pop-up window.
Note: The windows that pop up when you double-click on a hypertext link are
sizable. Simply drag the sides or corners of the windows to the desired size
and shape, just as you would any other PM window.
Note: Headings are assigned the color red throughout the PS Assistant. The
Change Bars (|), which indicate additions or revisions since the last release
of the PS Assistant, are also highlighted in red to make them easier to find.
(All other colors are as set by your OS/2 Control Panel (OS/2 1.x), or Scheme
Palette (OS/2 2.x) selections. If a color, or combination of colors, is not
to your liking, you may change them to something more pleasing. The operative
choices are: Help Text, Help Background, and Help Highlight.)
Tip: An easy way to find ALL changes since the last version is to Search for
the Change Bar character (|). This can be typed by holding the Shift key
while typing the backslash key.
How to use the Action Bar options
A number of choices are available for managing information presented in the PS
Assistant. If you want to see more information about these choices, click on
the name of the choice (or press the Tab key to move to the choice and press
Enter).
Search
Allows you to find occurrences of a word or phrase in the current topic,
selected topics, or all topics. (This choice is available from the
Services pull-down.)
Print
Allows you to print one or more topics. (This choice is available from
the Services pull-down.)
Copy
Allows you to copy a topic you are viewing to a file you can edit. (This
choice is available from the Services pull-down.)
Options
Allows you to change the way your Table of Contents is displayed.
Bookmark (This choice is available from the Contents pull-down.)
Allows you to set a placeholder so you can retrieve information of
interest to you. (This choice is available from the Services pull-down.)
Help
Provides online help panels for using the Help facility.
How to use the Push Buttons
The Search, Print, and Index push buttons arrayed across the bottom of the
panel duplicate the functions of the same-name Action Bar options. In
addition there are buttons marked Previous, Contents, Back, and Forward.
Previous simply steps you back through the series of panels you have just
looked at, in the reverse order of how you originally looked at them. By
contrast, Back, uses the Table of Contents to step backward through all the
sections listed in the TOC, in reverse order, from the current section.
Forward, naturally, steps you forward through all the TOC entries. And
Contents pops the TOC list on top of whatever panel you are currently viewing.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2. PS Assistant Survey ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Here's your chance to tell IBM what to do! If you like the PS Assistant, say
so. If you would like to see new information, or different ways of organizing
the existing information, say so. If you think some information is a complete
waste of space, let me know (and why you think so). Your feedback is valuable,
and will help direct the future of the PS Assistant. (No guarantees that any
or all suggestions will be implemented, but if you don't ask you'll never
know.)
You can return this survey by printing and mailing it to the address provided,
or by using Ctrl-Insert on the survey screen to copy it to the OS/2 clipboard
and then pasting it into a word processor and filling it out, PROFS and IBMMail
users can paste it into a note and send it to me at: MCHAPMAN at RALVM8 for
IBMers, or USIB3ZLD at IBMMAIL for external customers with IBMLink access.
CompuServers can reach me at: 72662, 3663. Or mchapman@vnet.ibm.com for
Internet users. And you can even fax it to me (isn't technology wonderful?) at
919-517-1229.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 6. Non-IBM Vendor Technical Support List ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Often, when diagnosing a problem, multiple hardware and software products from
several different vendors may be involved. This can make resolving the problem
more difficult. In order to simplify this process, the following list contains
a number of vendors' telephone and electronic technical support lines.
Note: This is not intended to be a complete list of all industry hardware and
software vendors. It is only a starting point, including many phone numbers
published in the trade press, of vendors who provide products or services for
IBM systems. The presence or absence of a vendor from the list should not be
construed as anything more. Because these numbers are not provided directly to
IBM by the vendors, IBM does not guarantee their accuracy. This list will be
updated as new information is obtained. (To report additional or updated phone
numbers, see the About PS Assistant tutorial section for contact information.)
Note: All numbers are voice unless otherwise specified.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 7. OS/2-Related BBS Phone Numbers (U.S./Canada) Part 1. ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Because there are people in different parts of the world who are looking for
help with OS/2, but for whom the long distance charges to reach the IBM PC
Company BBS are too high, the following section lists, in phone number order, a
number of independently run Bulletin Board Systems dedicated to OS/2, or
featuring OS/2 conferences and download areas. Some of these may be closer
geographically to the user, resulting in lower costs; and also a wider variety
of programs, bitmaps, fonts, patches, and other files to download.
Most DOS and OS/2 async communications programs should be able to connect to
these boards.
Note: Highlighted phone numbers indicate that there is additional information
available. To view this information, use the Tab and Enter keys, or
double-click on the phone number with the mouse.
Double-click here for information on how to have your BBS added to this list.

Because there are people in different parts of the world who are looking for
help with OS/2, but for whom the long distance charges to reach the IBM PC
Company BBS are too high, the following section lists, in phone number order, a
number of independently run Bulletin Board Systems dedicated to OS/2, or
featuring OS/2 conferences and download areas. Some of these may be closer
geographically to the user, resulting in lower costs; and also a wider variety
of files, patches, etcetera, to download.
Most DOS and OS/2 async communications programs should be able to connect to
these boards.
Note: Highlighted phone numbers indicate that there is additional information
available. To view this information, use the Tab and Enter keys, or
double-click on the phone number with the mouse.
Double-click here for information on how to have your BBS added to this list.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 10. Computer Acronyms & Abbreviations ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
One of the more confusing aspects of the computer industry is the use of
acronyms and abbreviations whose meanings are not immediately apparent. The
following list is offered as a means of simplifying the task of translating
these terms into something more understandable.
Due to the size required to create a full glossary this document is simply a
list of terms, on the theory that often just knowing what those darn letters
stand for is enough to get you by. For a more detailed description of terms,
you may be interested in purchasing the IBM Dictionary of Computing
(McGraw-Hill, August 1993, 758 pages; ISBN# 0-07-031489-6, IBM Form Number
ZC20-1699). It contains descriptions for hundreds of PC, mid-range, and
mainframe computer terms, including many illustrations. Other such books exist
as well.

Note: In addition, IBM also offers a number of "private classes." These
classes are limited to only those of the particular customer who has requested
the class. Rather than charging per person, private classes are billed at a
flat rate for the entire class. These classes may be held at the customer's
site or any other appropriate location, including nearby IBM facilities. This
can result in much lower per-student costs, as well as eliminating travel
expenses, and provides greater flexibility in course scheduling. For more
information on private classes, call 800-426-2468. To jump directly to the

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 12. IBM TV (FTN) Broadcast Schedule & Tapes ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Periodically IBM broadcasts topics of interest via satellite on the IBM TV
network (formerly called (IBM Field Television Network). Some of these
broadcast are of a marketing nature, describing IBM products or services, and
some are technically oriented. Anyone who wishes may view these programs live
by tuning a dish antenna to the following settings: Satellite SBS-5, at 125┬░
West longitude, horizontal polarity, transponder 9, 12.117 GHz center
frequency, and 6.8 MHz audio subchannel (using a Ku 1.8m dish antenna).
In addition, these IBM TV broadcasts are videotaped, and tapes may be ordered
for later viewing (VHS only). The following is the schedule of upcoming "in
the clear" FTN broadcasts, available for viewing by the general public:
IBM TV Broadcast Schedule
Date Time (Eastern) Title (Broadcast Number)
11Oct94 - 10:00a-11:00a OS/2 Warp 3.0 Live From New York (943??)
17Oct94 - 10:00a-11:00a PC Company Product Update (94338)
Customers can call 800-333-0901, operator 90 (for broadcasts prior to
29Oct93), or 800-456-1426 (for broadcasts beginning 29Oct93) to order copies
of recent tapes and handouts. When ordering, be sure to give the date, title,
and number of the broadcast. Call for pricing and billing details.
Orders must be charged to Mastercard, Visa, or American Express (no direct
