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.
