P4 documentation drive: rewrite doc-holder as a real documentation page - printed title, Commodore P/N, drawing numbers, assemblies covered, honest gaps and what each settles; corrects the C64GS date (November 1990, not May) and fixes the malformed 320130 download link
Add contents with PDF page numbers (parts list, supply parts p. 39, waveform sets); copyedit; list citing pages

The '''Commodore 4000 Series Technical Manual, Model 4016/4032''' is Commodore's own 76-page technical manual, part number '''P/N 990438'''. It is a package of engineering drawings — drawing trees, assembly drawings, parts lists, schematics and wiring diagrams — not a narrative manual, and it is the third of the numbered Commodore set alongside the [[Commodore 64 Technical Manual and Parts List|C64 manual (990439)]] and the [[Commodore VIC-20 Technical Manual|VIC-20 manual (990440)]].
The '''Commodore 4000 Series Technical Manual, Model 4016/4032''' is Commodore's 76-page technical manual, part number P/N 990438. It is a package of engineering drawings (drawing trees, assembly drawings, parts lists, schematics, wiring diagrams and waveform sheets) with no narrative text. It belongs to the same numbered series as the [[Commodore 64 Technical Manual and Parts List|C64 manual (990439)]] and the [[Commodore VIC-20 Technical Manual|VIC-20 manual (990440)]].

The cover names the '''4016''' and '''4032'''. The drawings inside cover the '''universal dynamic PET board''', drawing '''8032090, "PCB ASSY — UNIV. DYNAMIC PET"''', seven sheets, and its dash numbers are:

So the same board, in different build configurations, serves the '''8032''', the '''4032''' in both 9-inch and 12-inch cabinets, the '''4016''' and the '''SuperPET 9000'''. Anyone working on one of those machines should look here even though the title does not name it.
The same board, in different build configurations, serves the 8032, the 4032 in 9-inch and 12-inch cabinets, the 4016 and the SuperPET 9000, so the manual applies to all of them.


The revision block on that drawing runs from '''"Production Release"''' through revisions B to H, each tied to a Commodore ECO number (2157, 2172, 2237, 2308, 2414, 2565 and 2555, 2887, 3027).

* '''Power supply assembly 8032051''', three sheets, with a wiring diagram and Table I giving the transformer secondary tapping by cabinet: '''terminals 9 and 10 → 19 V for the 9-inch video''', '''terminals 9 and 11 → 21 V for the 12-inch video'''. Fuse F1 is 1.6 A, and the drawing names the machines it is used on (8032, 8016).
* PDF pp. 3-7: parts list for drawing 8032090, including the regulators VR1 (7905), VR2 (7812) and VR4 (LM323), crystal Y1 (16 MHz), the CRT controller at UB13, the 6502 at UB14, the piezo transducer MT1 and the electrolytics C1, C2 (470 µF 16 V), C5 (4700 µF 25 V), C7, C11, C16, C17, C23 and C24.
* Power supply assembly 8032051, three sheets, with its parts list on PDF p. 39 (transformer, 23,000 µF filter capacitor, fuse 125 V slow-blow 1.6 A, fuse holder, rocker switch), a wiring diagram and Table I giving the transformer secondary tapping by cabinet: terminals 9 and 10 for 19 V to the 9-inch video, terminals 9 and 11 for 21 V to the 12-inch video. The drawing names the machines it is used on (8032, 8016).
* Assembly drawings and rework notes, including FCC-compliance jumper instructions and a part substitution index reference, P/N 321233.

* PDF pp. 42-51: PCB waveforms for the 12-inch CRT display, drawing 321450, ten sheets.
* PDF pp. 52-61: PCB waveforms for the 9-inch CRT display, drawing 321447, ten sheets.

* '''The 9-inch and 12-inch PETs take different transformer taps.''' 19 V against 21 V, from the same supply assembly. Fitting the wrong tap is a real and easy mistake.
* The 9-inch and 12-inch PETs take different transformer taps, 19 V and 21 V, from the same supply assembly.
* '''The "4000 series" board is not a 4000-series-only board.''' It is the universal dynamic board, and the SuperPET 9000 is built on it.
* The "4000 series" board is the universal dynamic board, also used in the 8032 and the SuperPET 9000.
* The logic board, not the supply chassis, carries all three regulators; the +5 V part is an LM323.
* The revision history ties each board change to a Commodore ECO number, which is how a board's vintage can be placed.
