Here is what I did, for those interested.
I split the schematic in half 20 pixels to the right
and to the left. Then I drew a cut line on the center
of the left half, and an alignment line on the right
half. Now you can print them, cut the center line on
the left half, align them and tape them together with
invisible tape. Or if you can't seem to do it because
you are all thumbs, I can make it for you and mail you
one. It looks good and is really clear.
For those of you who are into this for the thrill,
I have the roms and Logic Sequencers for both 13 and
16 sector Disk II controllers and you can use eproms
(2716) in place of the original PROMs. Build your own,
Just for fun. I'm making a converter that will give
you both 13 and 16 on existing controllers, if you
are into that, again for fun, and they'll be really
cheap. Not sure yet if I need to double up the sequencer
since the one on the 16 sector controller should read and
write 13 sectors with the 13 sector rom. This will be
switchable, but not on the fly I don't think. I have to
have prototypes made and try them out and let you all know.
Anyway, I'm going to do this one next. This is for fun in
between working on other more important projects. :o)
