I realize every piece of electronic equipment has a schematic published for
it, but I was inquiring whether the ones he was referring to were some that
were readily available, or if they were of the type that only a technician was
likely to have access to.

Yes, it's a great machine. I have a boxed TI-99/4a, PEbox with 32k RAM and
disk drive w/interface, the speech synthesizer, and a number of command
modules. It's in great shape cosmetically as well. I'm trying to work out a
deal for an RS232 card for the PEbox now.
