Beginner Question

[Jim Patchell]

    I don't have my book marks here at work, but....

    At my website, I have a few links, like the ASM-1 homepage, TomG's page,
which has a collection of schematics, other pages....

    I have a few schematics as well.

    As far as reliable schematics....well, I don't think there really is such a
thing.  Most of the ones I have seen on the net are pretty acurate.  Depending
on your skill level, any problems on the schematic could be anything from a
minor inconvienence, to smoke.....but all that is part of the fun of DIY.
