Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

This is indeed a reference book of the most utilitarian kind. Wondering how many transistors are on an Intel 8088 compared to a Pentium? Can't remember which pins are ground on a 72 pin SIMM? What are those IBM printer control codes? It's all here in Mueller's compact guide. If for some reason you don't find the answer in this book, a chapter describes all of IBM technical literature in detail and how to order it. Another chapter explains how to track down vendors and bulletin boards for further arcane details. Not for the lighthearted, this resource is for serious computer technicians and doctors; my only complaint is not with the content but is compact size and tight binding.

5.0 out of 5 stars Users Review, May 3, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Scott Mueller Library : Upgrading and Repairing PCs, Quick Reference (Paperback)

The book features hardware drawings and many tables giving data in forms that allow the technician access to any area of study without needing to sift throught page after page of text. I find I am already referring to Upgrading and Repairing PCs when confronted with a task I do no complete frequently. I would recommend this book for anyone involved in the computer technician field as well as the self taught user.
