The current 'dump' of 5000026 (made by concatenating a trimmed dump) is probably correct but needs verification.

    • Revision 2 BIOS (06/10/85, AT model 239, 30MB HDD, locked to <6.3MHz) is dumped but needs verification; a disassembly exists on Rich Cini's site: http://highgate.comm.sfu.ca/~rcini/files/pcatbios.zip
    • ACCEPT Revision 3 BIOS (11/15/85, AT model 319 or 339, 3.5” drive, 30MB HDD, locked to <8.3MHz or <12MHz? or maybe just >6MHz?) is dumped, verified, and in MESS.
    • ACCEPT Keyboard Controller is dumped
    • ACCEPT BIOS is dumped (11/08/82, same as 5160 Rev2)
    • ACCEPT BASIC is dumped (same as XT, integrated into bios)
    • Several PALS/PROMS are needed dumps
    • Keyboard Controller does not exist on this model
    • ACCEPT Revision ?1? BIOS (04/21/86) is dumped
    • Several PALS/PROMS are needed dumps

    • ACCEPT Revision ? BIOS is dumped (11/08/82, same as 5160 rev2)
    • ACCEPT 3270 graphics/interface cards are dumped.

    • Keyboard Controller is not dumped and likely does not exist on this model
  • 3270 AT Model 5281
    • ACCEPT Revision ? BIOS is dumped (11/15/85, not the same as 5170 AT rev 3 from same date)
    • ACCEPT Keyboard Controller is dumped (same as PC AT)
  • 5531 Industrial XT
    • Revision ? BIOS is not dumped
    • Keyboard controller is not dumped and likely does not exist on this model
  • 7531/7532 Industrial AT
    • Revision ? BIOS (6mhz 80286) is not dumped
    • Revision ? BIOS (8mhz 80286) is not dumped
    • Keyboard controller is probably the same as the normal AT and if so is already dumped
    • Needs Executable ROS and Language ROS dumped (APL and BASIC and combo versions)
  • 5110
    • Needs Executable ROS and Language ROS dumped (APL and BASIC and combo versions)
  • 5120, AKA 5110 Model 3
    • Needs Executable ROS and Language ROS dumped (APL and BASIC and combo versions)
  • IBM Keyboards:
    • Keyboard Row/Column decoder from Model F PC/XT 93-key keyboard is not dumped and is likely protected. i8049?
    • Keyboard Row/Column decoder from PCjr chiclet-type keyboard is not dumped and is protected: attempted dump was blank, so it must be protected, and will require decapping. i8049?
    • Keyboard Row/Column decoder from PCjr alternate-type (later, clicky-looking normal keys) keyboard is not dumped and is likely protected. i8049?
    • Keyboard Row/Column Decoder from built-in keyboard in the IBM Portable PC model 5155 (PC/XT compatible) is not dumped and is likely protected. i8049?
    • Keyboard Row/Column Decoder from Model ?L? AT 94-key keyboard is not dumped and is likely protected. i8049?
    • Keyboard Row/Column Decoder from Model M (all revs) keyboard is not dumped and is likely protected. older versions unofficially have compatibility with the PC/XT interface, but the later ones (after Lexmark spinoff by IBM, and blue IBM logo on KB?) supposedly do not. Earlier keyboards use an i8049 or i8050 MCU, later ones may use something else.
    • Keyboard Row/Column Decoder from Model M2 keyboard is not dumped and is likely protected. This KB was made after the IBM-Lexmark split. Uses a motorola or hitachi ?6301? MCU?
