*cough* Er, to be honest I hadn't bothered to compare the schematic to the physical board. But you're right; 8K static RAM chips in the diagram, and 2K static RAM chips on the board... And since the serial number on mine is 700290, it looks like I have a Japanese Xpander, although the plate on the back doesn't say where it was made. And the PSU board clearly has "Made in U.S.A." on it. Interesting. And I guess our chances of finding schematics of the "last edition" processor (and other?) boards are approximately zero...
