Recovering Atari ST ASIC Designs (ST, Panther, Sparrow)

Much of this is miles above my head, but I'm certain that a number of you here will be interested in this:

Christian Zietz has uncovered schematics for a number of Atari ASICs, including a 68K video shifter that is almost certainly related to the Atari Panther.  Most of what's discussed on his page is with regard to the Atari ST (hence my posting it to this forum), but he also found an incomplete schematic for the Atari Sparrow (Falcon prototype).

 

Here's hoping for more discoveries like these, and kudos to him for his efforts so far!

Pretty cool stuff. Will it be released to the public, or will it be used to design some more wicked cool accessories for the 16/32-bit Atari computer line?

This information is gold to me. Thanks!

I guess if it is free to download, it is obviously released to the public. Sorry, redundant question. But, it is a nice source of information for Atari users. Thanks for posting. :O)
