Hello list,
I was several times asking the list for the SDS6 CPU schematics sheet ( I had all other ones). Nobody was willing to share it. Some days ago, Fabio payed a lot of money to complete the SDS6 schematics. He cleaned them with photoshop and shared them with me immediately FREE.
So, several questions occur and please think about them:
First: The CPU sheet was available all the time but the owners were not willing to share. I know at least two people who had the sheet and did'nt react to my "plea". Why did they hold it back? And why can you get it if you pay?
Second: How shall I behave in the future? I always help people with advice, manuals and schematics FREE. But in this case: If anybody is asking for SDS6 schematics, shall I give these for free although Fabio payed a lot of money for the CPU sheet? Or charge a little money to give Fabio something back? Funny, isn't it?
Best
Michael

I meant Wolfgang, not Michael. My bad. Anyway, Paul has a site:
www.simmons.synth.net with manuals that sometimes appear for sale
online. Wolfgang runs http://simmonsmuseum.com/?area=manuals which
contains a lot too.
