That sounds like a wild ride, man. You should make a post with more of the details if you have the time. I'd love to read about it.
I bought some books about 8080 hardware and started with a photocopy of the motherboard so I could highlight the chips and the conductive traces I had identified. But I never took pictures of the process and the notebook is long gone. I went into programming instead, was proud to have created the first film sequence of a ray-traced glass ball smoothly moving on a checker board on a 8088 because I invented run length encoding, not knowing that this was a standard algorithm for the rest of the world.
Shame you don't have the old material around, but I know how that goes.
Every culture at some point is doomed to reinvent the wheel, except, for reasons unknown, niggers.
While it is good advice for young men to keep their toys, as 35 years later they will have some value - 35 years is a length of time that no young man can grasp.
