In reading Vlads post regarding the Mueller Upgrading and Repairing Computers book, it occurred to me that I've never seen a thread on this most important subject. There have been many on books about a particular computer or system but none on the overall essential books.
So..... What are the Ten most essential books when collecting and getting working an old computer ?
The Mueller book is obviously in the top ten for Dos systems. I'll have to ponder my other choices and likely the Collectible Microcomputers by Mike Nadeau the founder of the newsletter now so ably continued by our own Even Koblentz is up there, altho I don't have one.
I'll have to cogitate on the others altho I must admit the comp sys newsgroups were my major source of support when I was on the point of taking a sledgehammer to this blasted machine which wouldn't work no matter what my blandishments and coaxings were.
I've spent too long in the belly of an electronic beast !
