Is there any freeware around that'll allow me
to draw circuit diagrams like the ones found
in the original XT Technical Reference?

Be that as it may ... don't you think a straight answer to a straight
question would be more helpful, better appreciated, and more likely to
gain friends than a smart-arse comeback from someone who has to say
something rather than having something to say?

You have wasted a wonderful opportunity to remain silent.

I myself have always tried to include a link with any freeware
recommendations that I make, even if it's something obvious like (for
instance) wwww.webwasher.com. I consider it to be common courtesy.

On the other hand, it's really up to the individual making the
recommendation. Common sense really isn't that common sometimes.

Indeed, John - common courtesy and common sense appear to both be uncommon
- nay, rare - these days. More, though, in some than in others, I must
hasten to add ... its absence seems to be inversely proportional to the
writer's inclination (and/or ability) to be helpful.

.... The harm we do is more noticed than any good we do.
 
You asked a question of which you could easily have found the answer
yourself,

Perfectly correct. However, it appeared that the person to whom I had
addressed my question (NOT you, I might add) appeared to have already done
the needed research, and I saw little merit in duplicating his efforts,
hoping he would be so helpful as to share his knowledge.
my comment "Google is your friend" was an attempt to indicate to you
where you could start your research.

No, it was an effort to give a smart-arse reply, and phrased in such a way
as to allow of no other interpretation.
How ever as you seem to need to be spoon fed I offer the following URLs
for your edification. Note I have even turned them into TinyURLs (see
http://tinyurl.com/create.php) to make it easier for you.

Your efforts are appreciated. However, my original question remains
unanswered, and your rather weak attempt at sarcasm is rejected outright.
You really should stick to the things you are good at.

time-limited software, trialware, viruses or warez please.

Sir,


I am sure you are right.

But on the other hand, I do not like to give recommendations like: Google
it...
Nicolas could also Yahoo it, or MSN it or AltaVista it and many other
servers are on the internet for a full free service, to find things like LT
Spice III.



Kind Regards,

Daniel

What do Circuit Diagrams drom the IBM-XT Tech Ref look like?

This reminds me of directions I got once from someone:

I was told to make a right turn at the next light then go down the
street (an unknown number of blocks) to the white house that use-to-be
green and make a turn left.

Dia is designed to be much like the commercial Windows program 'Visio'.
It can be used to draw many different kinds of diagrams. It currently
has special objects to help draw entity relationship diagrams, UML
diagrams, flowcharts, network diagrams, and simple circuits. It is also
possible to add support for new shapes by writing simple XML files,
using a subset of SVG to draw the shape.

It can load and save diagrams to a custom XML format (gzipped by
default, to save space), can export diagrams to EPS or SVG formats and
can print diagrams (including ones that span multiple pages).

Or you might look at GammaCAD:

Or this non-freeware one:

To introduce you to the world of electronic design using DesignWorks we
are now offering a new lightweight version for free download.
DesignWorks Lite is easy to install and is yours to try out for 30 days.
Once you've tried out the package, you can register on-line for only
$39.95!

Here's what you can do with DesignWorks Lite:
- Draw, save, edit and print complete, professional circuit diagrams
using powerful features like bussing, multi-level Undo/Redo, and
automatic gate packaging.
- Use the library of common 74XX and discrete symbols provided or create
your own libraries using the built-in symbol editor.
- Send compact circuit diagram files to friends or colleagues over the
'net'. They can get their own free copy of DesignWorks Lite to view,
edit and print the circuits.

Sheesh! And here I thought this newsgroup was populated by
real computer geeks. Doesn't *everybody* have an original
PC or XT with all the documentation? <grin>.

The Tech Ref has a bunch of lines connected to little boxen
representing (usually) Intel ICs and sockets for things like
RAM chips (256k-by-1 bit), ROMs (32k-by-8), or the 40-pin
8088 CPU and 8087 math coprocessor.

Thanks for the links; I'll be trying them out.

Since you had already done that research you could, at least, have
included the URL in your original post.
