Really, if put on paper, it ought to fill a large room. The last machines I ever saw where schematics were available to the end users were the VAX-11/780 and the uVAX-II. The 780 schematics were as thick as a phone book and 11 x 17" pages. The uVAX-II was a lot smaller, it was a hierarchical description, but gave a lot of insight on how the processor and interface chips were organized. Jon
