Dear list members,
I was wondering if anybody is aware of VAX 86x0 schematics having survived the product
life cycle within DEC? I searched the web extensively but could not find any hints on
this.
It seems that DEC never published such details as schematics for the successor of the VAX
11/78x systems, not even on microfiche, maybe due to the macrocell array implementation
(just a guess). All I could find is that there were illustrated parts list on microfiche.
However, maybe Hewlett Packard handed DEC-internal documents over to a museum such as the
CHM? Or a former designer still have schematics in their archives?
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated!
Best regards,
Pierre

I have the VAX 8600 Training Print Set and I sent it to someone (sorry,
forgot who) years ago.
There's at least one online version here:

I don't know what, if anything, would be the difference between this and
the normal MPxxxx drawings.
