I'd like to understand the machine and its
"Super-6800" processor and
therefore I'm looking for a copy of the service manual (BTW it's a 4052
and not a 4052A; the firmware level is 4) for both the 4052 and the 4611.
As I understand it, it's a re-implementation of the 6800 using AMD
29xx bit slice parts. There is quite a bit of documentation on the
AMD 29xx bit slice family of processor parts. There is documentation
on bitsavers: <http://bitsavers.trailing-edge.com/pdf/amd/_dataBooks/>
A popular book was "Bit-Slice Microprocessor Design" by John Mick and
Jim Brick aka "Mick and Brick". This book is basically a collection
of the AMD application notes that shows you how to build a complete
microprocessor usign the AMD 2900 series parts.

The images from the ROM patch ICs, PALs and microcode ROMs will follow
soon.
Are these different from the ones stored currently on bitsavers?
