Thanks Bill, appreciated.Yes I was surprised there wasn't a schematic archived
somewhere. I wonder how closely the JOLT follows other designs that used the
TIM chip. Maybe thst might be enough to get me over the finish line.There is
of course the photo of the bare board in the JOLT kit in Byte, Dec 1975 but
unfortunately the resolution is way too low.If you find anything, I'd be deeply
apprcleciative. If not.. I will do my best to guess my way through it.

MAI Jolt He is on linkedIn.There is scant info on the JOLT. You may have more
luck with the superjolt. 6502 Micro Journal may have useful detail.I will.have
access to the kennett classic library next weekk, and I cancheck then if you
dont have any leads before that. I know there are atleast some original Jolt
materials but I dont recall specifically theschematic. I assume you saw the
photos on vintagecomputer.net/MAI/BILLOn Wed, Aug 7, 2024, 6:45 PM Brad H via
