When I worked with them for a short | | | while | | | many years ago, the diagrams did not reveal the processor details | | | but had depth details like scope patterns etc for the processors | | | pinouts. I can tell you it is extremely complex but creates the | | | same | | | interest too. | | | | | | On Mon, Dec 5, 2011 at 8:51 PM, Steve Obbayi < steve@sobbayi.com | | | > | | | wrote: | | | | | | | By the way @Aki does sony avail their circuit diagrams to | | | | consumers? | | | | | | | | | _______________________________________________ | | | | | | Skunkworks mailing list | | | | | | Skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke | | | | | | ------------ | | | | | | List info, subscribe/unsubscribe | | | | | | http://lists.my.co.ke/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/skunkworks | | | | | | ------------ | | | | | | Skunkworks Rules | | | | | | http://my.co.ke/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=94 | | | | | | ------------ | | | | | | Other services @ http://my.co..ke | | | | _______________________________________________ | Skunkworks mailing list | Skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke | ------------ | List info, subscribe/unsubscribe | http://lists.my.co.ke/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/skunkworks | ------------ | Skunkworks Rules | http://my.co.ke/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=94 | ------------ | Other services @ http://my.co.ke
