Below is all the information I was able to get about the actual card. I did learn some other very interesting things though. /
As for the tormenta2 card (or tormenta3)... it's still an old design
limited by the PCI slave/target chipset. The only thing that changed
is that the new framer is being used that supports both E1 and T1 on
every port. Before they used a framer that could do either E1 or T1...
so they (Digium and later Varion) had to make two sets of cards. /

Thanks,
Steve

You can download the schematics for tormenta boards at zapatatelephony.org

The main issue I see is as follows:

1) The design is not correctly licensed under the GPL license

2) I do not believe that the GPL can be applied to hardware

3) You cannot copyright a circuit.

So I really see no obligation for anyone to distribute the schematic
as requested by Zapatatelephony.
