I was able to dump Torch Triple X System V,
Release 1 Version 1.2
If anyone is interested I can share the image.
I have a Torch Quad X CPU prototype CPU, missing the ASIC
did the ever scan all the manuals?
http://www.computinghistory.org.uk/det/1031/Torch-Triple-X/
I have a couple of Triple-Xs and a currently non-working Quad-X
Somewhere I have the schematic I reverse-engineered of the Triple-X. I
can dig it out and scan it if there's any interest.
I also seem to have 13 tiff files which claim to be the official
quad-X CPU board schematic which again I can share.
I don't know if I kept the Triple-X service manual. I had it at one
point and it was useless! No schematics. No pinouts. A block diagram
with major errors. And a glossary with entries like :
'IC : Integrated Circuit. one of those black things on legs on a circuit board
ICs : More than one IC'
I am not making that up.
[And it's not even accurate. The 68000, 68450 and 68451 are in ceramic
packages and are therefore not black. Two of the ICs on the Omti
SCSI-ST412 interface are in PLCC packages and are therefore not 'on
legs']
