Apple Guide to the Macintosh Family Hardware is a book that provides
an overview of the architectures of Macintosh computers and
descriptions of the hardware components that make up those computers.

This book provides background and reference information for
developers: hardware engineers designing peripheral devices for
Macintosh computers and system programmers who need an understanding
of the hardware in order to optimize their code.

The 2nd edition (1990) describes:
? The nine current Macintosh models (Macintosh Plus, Macintosh SE,
Macintosh SE/30, Macintosh Portable, Macintosh II, Macintosh IIx,
Macintosh IIcx, Macintosh IIci, Macintosh IIfx)
? processors and control logic
? Versatile Interface Adapters (VIAs: interface ICs)
? memory organization and expansion
? power supplies and control
? keyboard and mouse on the Macintosh Plus and earlier models
? Apple Desktop Bus (on all models since the Macintosh Plus)
? floppy disk interfaces, two types: Apple 800 KB drive and Macintosh
FDHD (SuperDrive)
? serial I/O ports: similar on all models
? SCSI ports: similar on all models
? displays, three types: built-in video, expansion card video, and
flat panel
? sound: two types of hardware for generating sampled sound
? expansion interfaces, two types: NuBus and processor direct

The uploading interface does not let me upload the manuals as .pdf
files, so I had to compress them (sorry for the inconvenience) !
