It's not a matter of being "popular".
Every electronic device ever made
has schematics for it. In fact, the schematics are made first. It's
basically a blueprint of what electronic components are, and an occasional
tip on how to repair. It's made for electronic technicians.
I realize every piece of electronic equipment has a schematic published for
it, but I was inquiring whether the ones he was referring to were some that
were readily available, or if they were of the type that only a technician was
likely to have access to.
I noticed you have a list of systems in your sig
including the TI-99/4a.
Man, that was a fun computer! I wonder how Texas Instruments came up with
that model number.
Yes, it's a great machine. I have a boxed TI-99/4a, PEbox with 32k RAM and
disk drive w/interface, the speech synthesizer, and a number of command
modules. It's in great shape cosmetically as well. I'm trying to work out a
deal for an RS232 card for the PEbox now.
