There is a fun documentary called "808" (available on Amazon Prime) about the history and impact of the TR-808. It's mostly interviews with musicians and only a little technical information.

It's mentioned in the article.

> How exactly Mr Kakehashi found these specific parts is not known, [...] but you can hear him tell some of the story himself right at the end of the excellent 2015 documentary movie “808”.
