Yeah, that's it.

I'm pretty sure that they also made EISA/ISA versions.

I'm not sure what you mean by "not too hard", but I'll follow along...

It seems to me as if I'd need to spring for various books in the "Inside
Macintosh" series - right?  And I've never needed to do a lot with
MacsBug, so I'm mostly a novice there, but at least that's free  :-) 
Hmmm...  I think that I might have the Inside Macintosh series on a CD-ROM
in DocViewer format from the summer of '93...

Let's assume that I'm willing to take a poke at it.  What would I need to
do to get prepared?
