Yes, you can find Amiga schematics online. Simply search for them using a certain well
known online search site :)
Speaking of Amiga's, I have been very lucky over the last few months to acquire
several Amiga ROM Kernel Reference Manuals and 2 different editions of the Amiga Hardware
Reference Manual (1985 & 1989 editions) which have proved invaluable in helping me to
get my own copperlist working :)
I'm a software guy too and have been meaning to Google/Wiki things like
"electrolytic capacitors" to find out how things work.
However, my current projects require alot of my online time, so it isn't possible at
present :(

Well, aside from 1 old Sun (SPARCstation IPX), the
soon-to-arrive
VAXstation, an Amiga and 2 STs and a QL, all my kit is Macs and PCs.
The PCs range from a 386 to an Athlon XP, Macs from an SE/30 to a Blue
& White G3/400MHz. So I don't run what most people here would consider
"old hardware", I suppose!
I know for the Amiga Commodore provided schematics...
I am, a bit like Chuck, mainly a software person, but
one who's
competent with hardware to a basic level. I know bugger-all about
electronics and while I regret that, I'm not inclined to fix it now. I
just have an aesthetic appreciation for the way things /used/ to be
done.
I am also mainly a software person, but I am slowly teaching myself
electronics because I would like to know how the "other side" works! :)
Cheers,
Bryan
