Do we have a good cutaway view picture of the E2? I've seen one but I don't recall whether it was in one of bad's videos or in a still. Just paged through about 40 pages on two threads ;-)

If anyone has a link.... appreciated!
This is not a cutaway, but part of an autopsy that I did for one. Link ---->#34
Maybe this will give you a general idea of the works.

As soon as I have a dead carto I'll slice it up and make a demensioned CAD drawing of it.

oh I wish I could do CAD. I was playing with SketchUp and a wacom digitizer. I managed to make some mangled wire layout of a carto, but I couldn't figure a lot of things out.

Not sure how serious you are about doing CAD but I'll make a suggestion. Take a AutoCad class at your Community College.

Once you are enrolled you can get AutoCad Lite for a fraction of what standard AutoCad costs.

Yeah I'm not really that serious about it. I'd love to be able to do it for little things here and there, but it's not a priority. Good info though.

I began using acad Release 10 in 1990. Still use it occasionally. Have not updated it since R2005.

R10? So your a newbie. The first Acad I used was R3. All input was typed in from the comand line. That was back when programs came on 5 inch floppies and 256k of system Ram was a smoking machine.

I remember doing a rendering once of some parts I designed in Acad 10 or 12. It took 6 hours. Now, the same rendering in SolidWorks or MasterCam is Real-Time and 3D rotation is stepless.

Things sure have come a long way.

Haha...my first computer was 25MHz 286. I don't even remember the manufacturer. I remember being blown away when we bought an IBM Aptiva M50 with a 100 MHz Pentium. It kept crashing and my father kept blaming me so he made me fix it (I was maybe 11 or 12). I spent hours on the phone with IBM tech support over the span of a week. Finally found out they shipped the wrong drivers with our computer. Got a new disk in the mail and it worked flawlessly after that. Man that was a dinosaur...lol

By your standards I am a newbie, heheh. What I had back then was slow tho. I used to smoke an entire cigarette waiting for a regeneration. Thought I was in hog heaven when I updated the motherboard to a 486 with a 33 MHz processor. I still work from the command line. Much faster than all them menu boxes in the way.

Yep. Times is changed. They even make cigarettes now that work from electricity.
