The Liberty Databook CPU is a 586-P75 133MHZ computer with Award BIOS capable of running as a workstation or server in either DOS or Win95. Ports include 1 parallel, 2 serial, VGA, and ethernet. The keyboard port is PS2 and requires an adapter for use with standard keyboards. The Liberty CPU contains one EISA expansion slot.

CMOS

Push Del on bootup to enter CMOS setup. Use the arrow keys to move between options and Page Up/Down keys to change options.

The CMOS is originally set to autodetect the hard disk on boot up. For best performance and reliability, the hard disk options should be changed to define the actual hard disk configuration. From the main CMOS menu, run IDE HDD Auto Detection. Then select the configuration from the displayed list of possibilities. For drive , you will have to go in and explicitly set it to None.

In Chipset Features, change External Cache to Disable.

Network

An ethernet port comes standard with the Liberty CPU. It is configured with the Accton driver disk that comes with the unit. Change to the DIAG directory and run SETUP. Touch Menus currently uses all default settings except for IRQ, which we set to 5.

DOS and Win95 NE2000 drivers should use the following specifications:

    *      Enhanced mode 16-bit
    *      IOBase Address 300h
    *      IRQ 5

Video

The built-in video controller is a Cirrus Logic VGA 16-bit. It can come with either 512KB or 1MB video ram. Either one will support all video modes currently used by Touch Menus. Win95 can autodetect the video at install time, so no manual configuration is needed.
Case

The case will slide off to the rear after three screws are removed from the back. On the front of the case is a power button on top, and a suspend button underneath. Thankfully, the suspend feature is not currently implemented, and pressing the button has no effect. There is a recessed reset button that can only be pressed with a pen or pencil, so pressing the power button twice is the easiest way to perform a reset. There is no turbo button.
