These are links to the official Apple Macintosh SE schematics.
Source website: https://museo.freaknet.org/gallery/apple/stuff/mac/andreas.kann/schemat.html
Unfortunately, there are no BOMARC schematics available for the
Macintosh SE.
The Internet Archive also has a copy of purportedly the same Macintosh
SE schematics scan.

----------
Due to the illegiblity of the original Main Logic Board (MLB) page 1
scan, this repository also contains a retrace of the schematic,
striving to be as faithful as possible to the original. The retrace
was done by hand and careful eyeing in Inkscape, after doing some
simple image processing on the input scan. A script that uses the
ImageMagick `convert` command is included to reproduce the processing
steps.
Notes related to the accuracy of the retrace.
* The pinouts of all integrated circuit components have been verified
with second sources.
* The pinouts of the PDS slot and RAM SIMMs have **not** yet been
verified with second sources.
* The resistor values have been checked to be consistent with the
reference designators, but **not all reference designators** have
been verified to be consistent with the placement on the printed
circuit board.
* The schematic info blocks in the upper and lower left corners have
been cross-checked with scans of other official Apple schematics to
attempt to make them as faithful as possible to the original
contents.
Notes on the source SVG file:
* The processed scan is linked as a hidden and locked image object.
To view both the retrace and the original scan together, find the
image object (possibly in the XML hierarchy) and make it visible.
The image object is locked to make it easier to draw on top of.
* The specific `sans-serif` font I used on my system is DejaVu Sans.
So long as your system `sans-serif` font has similar metrics,
everything should work just fine, otherwise you can replace the font
family name with DejaVu Sans.
