The last machines I ever saw where schematics were

end users were the VAX-11/780 and the uVAX-II. The 780 schematics
were as thick as a phone book and 11 x 17" pages. The uVAX-II was a
lot smaller, it was a hierarchical description, but gave a lot of
insight on how the processor and interface chips were organized.
I don't care about schematics as much as I'd like to see the
datasheets on the ICs. I might then be able to figure out where to
probe for signals to determine the location of a bad part.
