[GreenKeys] Dovetron 1000T

[Nick England]

FWIW - I have just scanned the schematic/layout of the Dovetron main board
MPC-1000 rev E.
I scanned at 600 dpi and this file is 150 MB.
https://www.navy-radio.com/rtty/dovetron/dovetron-mpc1000-revE.pdf
The lower res version (200 KB) is here
https://www.navy-radio.com/rtty/dovetron/Dovetron_MPC-1000C-schematic.pdf

I believe there was not an updated schematic that omitted the scope. You
have to use the SSD (LED crossbar) installation info to see what changes to
make to the board. But if anyone does have an updated schematic that would
be great.
Cheers,
