Both of these statements agree with my own i960 experiences.

I do recall seeing an MC databook. It felt like a resurrection of the i432,
with gobs of CISCy instructions arranged so that they could be emulated in
software if necessary. Clearly, it would die a quick and merciful death.

All the volume i960's were embedded controllers. AFAIK there are no i960's
with real MMU hardware available in any worthwhile quantity.
