Being a poor starving fledgling Computer Engineering major, I was
wondering if it is possible to get the a set of complete schematics for
the A3000 (since I can't afford to buy one to get the User's Manual, nor
can any of my friends :). Also, if it's possible, to get complete schematics
for all the custom chips as well. (Having the schematics for the rest of the
chips as well would be nice, but I could presumably look those up in a book
somewhere) I'm not developing hardware for it or anything (yet :), I'm just
curious and would be interested in seeing exactly how the beast works.
Pre-thanx for any info...

Traditionally some form of system schematics have been included in the users manual, but for up to date production schematics you have to order the service manual or schematics kit from throught service channels. As more of the system logic is implemented in gate arrays, the educational value of these schematics diminishes considerably. Schematics of the custom chips are not available outside the Commodore engineering department. Basic information about these chips is in the Amiga hardware manuuals, some additional programming information is available throught the developer support program. -- George Robbins - now working for, uucp: {uunet|pyramid|rutgers}!cbmvax!grr but no way officially representing: domain: grr@cbmvax.commodore.com Commodore, Engineering Department phone: 215-431-9349 (only by moonlite)

I don't remember if the chip pinouts are there, however. Question? Why does C= put schematics in the Intro manual?
