That's actually an good point about technical documentation in general. A while back, I received a broken Commodore 64. I salvaged the music chip, the famous SID, and started playing with interfacing it to an AVR644. I was absolutely blown away by the level of documentation Commodore included with the C64, including the pinout of that chip, how to interface with it, everything I needed was right there in the User manual. I know you don't see that anymore when you buy a PC.
An interesting point is that amateur radios still include schematics, even brand new ones. My dad's Yaesu FT-840 includes just as much documentation as my Swan 500c or my HTX-202. It's been a very pleasant surprise, and a very useful one too. -Adam On Fri, Nov 26, 2010 at 6:42 PM, threeneurons <[email protected]>wrote: > When was the last time you bought a TV, and got the schematic with > it ? > They use to print them inside the chasis. > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
