Not sure if this is helpful to anyone, but I'm doing some diagnostics and decided to make a complete IC map of the Compaq Portable III's mainboard since it was useful to me.

Anyway, here it is. Enjoy!

I don't really take a lot of photos while working, mostly because I make YT videos instead of writing posts, but here's my bench ATM... It's a process!

Is Portable III the machine that uses Canon 5501 floppy drives?
