Yeah it is. In the 90s everything had a manual. Does anybody remember how good the documentation was for new hardware? I was looking for an example but google became garbage and I can't find any good example.
- jorvi 4y agoA sheet containing all the specs, wiring, resistances etc was tacked to the inside of my 80s speaker set. Fun discovery when I revamped them!
- StreamBright 4y agoYep, that is exactly what I am talking about. Maybe it was more of a 80s thing.
- rodgerd 4y agoI feel like this is overstating how good things were. Yes, my ZX Spectrum and Amiga both came with some very nice documentation to at least the block level on how everything worked - but at the same time, every programming manual for the Amiga was an expensive Addison-Wesley tome. Every programming language beyond BASIC was an expensive proprietary product. It wasn't the paradise people seem to (mis-)remember.
