I'm sorry, but I decided to delete them once I noticed that the service
manual contains the same schematic diagrams in better quality.  I should
have the paper originals, but they are of very bad quality.  Instead of
putting the files back, I could create links for the schematic diagrams in
the service manual.  Done.  (There should maybe also be a summary for each
board (i.e. what kind of DRAMs and ROMs, where the PLA and SID are
located, and so on, but somebody would have to supply the information for
me.)

I don't completely agree.  Sure, the schematic diagrams printed in
magazines or books (like the C64 Programmer's Reference Guide) contain
errors, but I haven't heard anyone finding an error in the official
engineering sheets.
