I am interested in finding a source of schematics for the Mac.
The block diagrams found in Byte and other such magazines are
interesting, but I need more detail. If anyone knows of a source
for schematics, I'd appreciate a note. Please send it in care of

I just recently found Schematics for the Mac at a local Mac Computer Software store here in S.F. CA. They are made by: Bech-Tech 41 Tunnel Road Berkeley, CA, 94705 (415) 548-4054 The Schematics Consist of two 3' by 2' sheets. One of the sheets are the complete schematic for the Analog board, the other is a complete schematic for the Motherboard, keyboard, and mouse. I have spent quite a bit of time going over them and they look completly accurate! Bech-Tech has done an amazing job on these very nice drawings. I paid $10.00 for each sheet for a grand total of $20.00. I don't think apple service centers have schematics quite as nice as these. I highly recommend them! Peter Espen Kevex Corporation

There is a Canadian Mac magazine ( I think it is called MacMag ) that is publishing Mac schematics. They appear to have Apples permission to do this, so maybe you could also get them from Apple. Tim Smith ihnp4!cithep!tim ima!ism780!tim

At MacExpo in Boston, Bech-Tech was selling 2 posters (Logic and Analog Board) for $20 each. Last day, they closed-out at $10. I bought several dozen at a small discount for friends back home. Very good print-quality. Check any Mac-related magazine for Beck-Tech's phone/address. If they no longer provide them (or if the price is prohibitive), making copies may be possible. But I have no idea what such large copies might cost. Of course, there also was (is??) IM Underground, which had a lot of good verbal documentation, but incomplete schematics. Did they ever come out with anything else? I never saw more but "Volume 1" . Werner werner@ut-ngp.ARPA/USENET

I got a set of schematics from the "IM Underground" in Ann Arbor - I'll have to look for the address. The schematics are NOT "official" - they are the result of some folks sitting down and tracing the board. They came in MacPaint format on a floppy for $25, along with a bunch of MacWrite documents that describe how the hardware works. Good stuff. I'll see if I can find the address and re-post. - Jerry Callen ...ihnp4!inmet!ada-uts!callen

"IM Underground" leaves the PAL's as black box's. And how about what's in that IWZ box? Does anyone have that information?? ----> Dave Caswell ...{ihnp4}!mhuxl!davec
