Heh... So, I am a total newcomer to the MIPS CPU, really, and I've found
the Kane and Heinrich book on the R3000 and R4000/6000 to be really useful,
_especially_ the operational description of each of the instructions, that
shows you where the delay slots are...

If anyone's interested, I'll post the ISBN when I get into work tomorrow.
