Documentation; narrative & technical.

Systems like SDF have an enormous rich history of implementing technology but the what, how, and why seems lost.

In a corporate environment, this knowledge is often passed down (or later inferred) because it must be but unavailable to the masses.

I couldn’t technically recreate SDF if I wanted to. I can build something functionally similar but the components would be very different.

The faq menu gives you a lot of system documentation including cost information. There are parts of the system like com and bboard that I don't think were ever meant to be open for folks to use as components in their own system.

It's apparently volunteers and donated hardware so things tend to fall between the cracks...
