The Fortiva 3000 system BIOS version 1.61 consists of two 32K ROM files. File F000F7FF is the setup and configuration ROM while file F800FFFF is the start−up and POST ROM file. These files may be useful for those who are working to restore a Leading Edge Fortive 3000 and have encountered a corrupted system BIOS file. Others may find the BIOS files useful as an upgrade from an earlier system BIOS to allow for support of additional hardware options or simply as an archival backup. |

A peripheral that was often bundled with many of the later computer offerings from Leading Edge was a two‐button PS/2 mouses. The PS/2 mouse did not have an official Leading Edge product name, though the mouse had the typical Leading Edge branding for the early 1990s prominently emblazoned near the middle. On the underside of the mouse, the label indicated its name as just "PS/2 Mouse". Looking up the FCC ID of IWO CM‐Z8, LeadingEdgeComputers.com was able to deduce some basic information about the mouse. |

An uncommon document to find are service manuals for Leading Edge computers and other hardware. When this document was discovered, it was decided to prioritize scanning the document to share with the vintage computing community as we have seen many DLT/386SX computers floating around and it would be a valuable addition to anyone's digital archive who may need aid in rooting out faults with their computer. This is not a typical owner's manual, but a manual that was distributed to Leading Edge dealers and authorized service shops in the event that a customer brought in a faulty DLT/386SX. |
