I'd be interested in having a look at one, too, maybe reverse engineer it.
Unfortunately there are only two options:
Non destructive (pick a probe point and then go over the entire board
looking for connections, then draw up a schematic and build a clone on a
protoboard)
Destructive (take a heatgun to the board and remove all the components,
then strip the soldermask, scan the PCB and import it into
Eagle/PADS/Protel).
Believe me, those are the only two options. Unless someone raided the
dumpsters at Central Point before Symantec absorbed them and managed to get
a schematic...
Anyone got a copy of CopyIIPC (latest rev if possible)? Or know how it
worked?
Later.
