This is not a repair source

This is a programming book. It contains no schematics, no parts lists, no component values, no voltages, no connector pinouts and no service procedures, and nothing in it should be cited for a hardware figure. Apple's software documentation and its compiler manuals describe the machine as the programmer sees it, which is not the machine the technician sees.

For hardware data use:

Apple Service Source — Apple's own service manuals, module

 level: specifications, symptom charts, take-apart and module part numbers

Apple's Developer Notes — the one class of Apple developer document that does carry

 rail currents, expansion-slot power budgets and connector pinouts. Several are held here, for
 example Macintosh IIci Developer Note, Macintosh IIsi Developer Note and
 Macintosh LC 475 and Quadra 605 Developer Note.

Macintosh Repair & Upgrade Secrets and The Dead Mac Scrolls — component-level, for

 the compact Macs
