Indeed. I bought my A500 (the only Amiga I own, I think) at a charity
shop (what you'd call a thrift store) and it came with the user manual.
In the back was a somewhat poorly-printed schematic.

The hardware technical manual I have (another charity shop purchase...)
contains pinouts of all the custom chips, but no complete schematics.
Not a major pronlem, though.

However, I have never seen official schematics for the A520 modulator
(probably more important than the CPU board schematics for this problem),
and I can't remember if they were easily available for the monitor (or,
idndeed, if I have them, whioch is not the same thing at all!)
