SM146 schematic

[edit | edit source]

A two-page scan of the SM146 schematic diagram, headed "CMPC-146" with "Parts No. 41A32-015" (the last digits are hard to read) at the foot of the second sheet. Each sheet is half of the circuit, with numbered waveform panels below it, and the drawing carries revision dates from 20 June 1991 to 25 February 1992. The scan bears the address stamp of Michael Ruge, a service dealer in Rüsselsheim, Germany, and the handwritten note "Atari SM146".[1]
