High quality single page schematics

I do not have my later edition of the Apple II Reference Manual (not the Red Book) handy, but I seem to remember that a fold-out large version of the Apple II motherboard schematic was included with that manual.

The edition with a fold-out schematic is common on eBay.  Some examples:

• $80 for this waterlogged manual, with fold-out schematic present in pictures.
• $24.95 for scuffed up manual, with fold-out schematic and addendum with multi-page schematic of the Rev.7
• $20 for a set of 3 manuals, one of which ought to have the fold-out schematic (but not confirmed in pictures)
• $20 for this heavily-photographed manual, including 3 pictures of the schematic in various stages of being unfolded

Apparently the asking price is inversely-proportional to value.

I have high resolution JPG scans of the red book Apple II Reference Manual schematic pages and those schematic pages from the later Apple II Reference Manual, 22 pages in all.

I have recreated all the schematics from the original Redbook, they are vector format, so resolution is of no concern.

That's a pretty impressive re-master of the Red Book.  It must have taken quite an effort to reproduce it, and more than twice the effort to spell-check and correct errors.

Nice job.

That version will be replaced with a new version in the near future, most of the corrections are visual, that version has many pages using letter Gothic 10 pitch when they are suppose to be 12, also page 123 is being replaced with a vector image you actually see, light italic font is being replaced with a far more accurate font, mostly tweaks.

Since I had to move to a new place to live I hadn't much time to do these things.

I am speechless... how good is this version! Incredible how all illustrations were recreated in beautiful detail. This should be on the internet archive. i do not see the foldout 1 pager schematics in there, did I miss it?

The fold-out is in a later version (colored cover) reference manual.  Here some quick handheld photos of it I just took:
