OK, ask me to reverse-engineer a complex machine without giving it to me 
and see how far you get...

Yes, I do enjoy figuring out how things work, but the real reason I 
produce such diagrams is to keep my own machines running. Of course I 
share them with othes, but I am not going to spend a lot of time figuring 
out how to keep _your_ machine running unless I get something in return. 
That something is normally an example of the machine in question.

I do make exceptions occasionally. If the machine is sufficiently simple 
that I can figure it out completely in a couple of days, then I might do 
it anyway (I do not own all the HP handhelds covered by the HPCC 
schematics CD-ROM, I borroowed many of them from other members). But I 
could produce a schematic for one of those in an afternoon at most. I do 
own all the desktops covered by that disk, producing diagrams for one of 
those takes weeks.
