IIRC circuit diagrams and PCB layouts were provided,
along with a full
listing of the system monitor program.
That latter's the important bit; there are just too many computing-related
projects in magazines of old for which the software / firmware had to be sent
away for - and of course whilst the magazines (and hence schematics) survive,
the code which they ran has typically long since gone :-(
You could even buy ready made
PCBs (and kits of parts?) from a little company called "Newbury
Data"
Hmm, that name rings a bell for some reason.
Not sure whether ETI published the PCB layout for the
"Triton" (I'm
pretty sure they didn't, it was a fairly large, through hole plated
PCB), but they sure publisged the schematics and monitor listings.
I'll have a look if I remember; I think we've got a pretty comprehensive set
of ETIs from around that period.
