Lots of it. Most of it is fairly well-documented though, so I
haven't bothered photographing any of it.
I've enjoyed hunting around chips to find manufacturers' logos,
though. That's always fun. Tooling around with the X and Y stage
controls, until a big "W" Westinghouse logo pops up...cool!
I'm really hoping to find a dead J11 chipset to decapitate. I have
several J11-based boards here but I can't stand the idea of
sacrificing one in that manner. If anyone here has a spare J11
chipset or a known-dead board containing one, I'd love to talk deal
for it.
