Thanks, Stan, I did find the schematic of Terry Thomas' design (which I 
guess is the one you've got also).
I'm sure I have a drawing of the two sides of the PCB somewhere, too.

If Bob doesn't have it, I still have the assembly manual/schematic of the 
Ausy
design 'mini' disk controller that Bob mentions in one of his other posts.
It's a bit worst for wear (well used) but a high res scan should be 
readable.
