Thanks Bill, appreciated.Yes I was surprised there wasn't a schematic archived somewhere.  I wonder how closely the JOLT follows other designs that used the TIM chip.  Maybe thst might be enough to get me over the finish line.There is of course the photo of the bare board in the JOLT kit in Byte, Dec 1975 but unfortunately the resolution is way too low.If you find anything, I'd be deeply apprcleciative.  If not.. I will do my best to guess my way through it.  BradSent from my Galaxy -------- Original message --------From: Bill Degnan via cctalk &lt;cctalk(a)classiccmp.org&gt; Date: 2024-08-07 6:11 p.m. (GMT-08:00) To: "General Discussion: On-Topic and Off-Topic Posts" &lt;cctalk(a)classiccmp.org&gt; Cc: Bill Degnan &lt;billdegnan(a)gmail.com&gt; Subject: [cctalk] Re: Schematic or PCB layout for MAI Jolt He is on linkedIn.There is scant info on the JOLT.  You may have more luck with the superjolt.  6502 Micro Journal may have useful detail.I will.have access to the kennett classic library next weekk, and I cancheck then if you dont have any leads before that.  I know there are atleast some original Jolt materials but I dont recall specifically theschematic.  I assume you saw the photos on vintagecomputer.net/MAI/BILLOn Wed, Aug 7, 2024, 6:45 PM Brad H via cctalk <cctalk@classiccmp.org>wrote:> Thanks!  I did try that but haven't heard back and don't want to pester> him.>> -----Original Message-----> From: Will Cooke via cctalk &lt;cctalk(a)classiccmp.org&gt;&gt; Sent: Wednesday, August 7, 2024 1:35 PM> To: General Discussion: On-Topic and Off-Topic Posts <> cctalk(a)classiccmp.org&gt;&gt; Cc: wrcooke(a)wrcooke.net&gt; Subject: [cctalk] Re: Schematic or PCB layout for MAI Jolt>>>> > On 08/07/2024 3:46 PM EDT brad via cctalk &lt;cctalk(a)classiccmp.org&gt; wrote:> >> >> > Hi there,Haven't had much time for vintage computers due to my job> dealing with new ones, but the odd evening I have been working on PCB> replica projects.One of them is for the MAI Jolt.
