[edit | edit source]

It is a programming book, not a service document. It carries no schematics, no parts list, no component values and no board layouts, and it is not a source for a repair figure. Citing it for a capacitor value, a voltage rating or a chip location would be citing the wrong kind of document.

For component-level data on the machine use Commodore's own documentation instead:
