Your apology has nothing to do with the group you chose! At first, I thought
you wanted prints for 386/486 *motherboards*! Then I read this:

...and bust my sides laughing! Consider the following:

	- I've been working with uPs for 10 years, and have yet to see the
	  gate diagram for even the i4004 (though I have'nt been looking)

	- that chip is complex as hell. I bet a *block diagram* takes up
	  an 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper. Even if you could get it, it would
	  have to be printed on several sheets of microfiche

	- Intel has competitors, and ain't about to give away all that
	  hard work

	- If you could get it, have you got the 5 figs needed to purchase
	  it?

Now, I could be wrong, and Intel may participate in some sort of Information
Exchange program, but I suspect that Ronald Reagan will be inaugurated next
Jan 20 with the same odds.
