Anyone have a high-resolution picture of the G81-8308's matrix?

I'm doing some mad science, messing with the 8308's macro module. Disconnected from the MY matrix, it still outputs previously programmed macros, but it does not appear to take instruction from another keyboard plugged into the computer: IE, you cannot select macro layers or program macros.
Seeing as I want to put this module in a custom keyboard, I am going to need to recreate the 8308's matrix, and feed that through the 8308's original controller, in order to control the macro module.
This could get a little complicated, as to use locking switches and other features not supported by the 8308's controller, I figure I'll have to put a Soarer's or QMK PS2-USB converter on the output end of the native controller... I suppose I could use suggestions on that front as well.
But primarily, I need a good image of the 8308's matrix to figure that part out. If no one happens to have one disassembled, I'll just strip the board of the MY switches to get a look - this just might be quicker.
