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']
