Schneiderware Introduction

Whilst the series was aimed at beginners, the later DIY schematics could have been a bit less cryptic: They often only showed only low-level details like "Pin 123 wired to Pin4 of IC6" - some additional comments with signal & chip names would have made it much easier to see that, for example, "/IOREQ is wired to an OR gate". One could eventually extract that info from other sections of the article, and, when doing that, one may have really learned something.

Some articles also contained poorly barely described jumpers, undocumented I/O addresses, and the example programs in machine code (as hex dumps without since printing the complete source codewould require more pages), which meant that one needed to do some reverse engineering to understand the software and hardware. For some projects, the source code was released on the magazines Databoxes that could be purchased optionally (instead of entering the type-in listings).
