Hello everyone,

I've spent the last week looking for the documentation required to do
supervisor programming on multiprocessor SPARCstation 20's using two =
SM71
SuperSPARC II processors. I've found a number of PDF documents online, a
number of manuals, and a number of books, but I'm wondering if anyone =
has
anything else that would be useful. Most of the leads I've found so far =
are
from 1990 to 1996.

Sun's website has not been helpful. Has Sun released any further
documentation for their older hardware? Are all internal documents for =
older
Sun hardware still under NDA?

I've found mentions of a number of printed manuals from a number of
manufactures. So far I've not been able to find any copies, and haven't
tried contacting these manufactures directly, yet. Does anyone know if =
any
of these manuals have made it into digital form? Does anyone have a copy =
of
these manuals that they would be willing create a PDF from, or =
photocopy,
and send a copy to me? Are there any other manuals that are available?

Has anyone found any other secret stashes of documents online?

I have found, and purchased a few books. Does anyone have any further
recommendations?

Anything else I've missed?


The few books that I'll mention:

Ben Catanzaro, "Multiprocessor System Architectures: A Technical Survey =
of
Multiprocessor/Multithreaded Systems Using SPARC, Multilevel Bus
Architectures, and Solaris", Prentice Hall, 1994
