   This particular manual is EK-KA655-TM-001 KA655 CPU Technical Manual
and is (or at least was) orderable in the late '80s/early '90s.

I don't have a list of documentation, although I keep meaning to build one up.

http://www.europe.digital.com/info/DAS-Catalog/das07rhm.htm would be a good
place to start building a list of available documentation.

Once you get hold of a given manual it often refers you torelated manuals.
Just flicking through the VAX 4000 model 400/500/600 Technical Information
manual (EK-452AD-TI.004) I can see

	EK-KA675-TM KA675 CPU Technical Manual (that's the VAX 4400)
	EK-KA680-TM KA680 CPU Tech Manual (that's VAX 4500)
	EK-KA690-TM KA690 CPU Tech Manual (that's VAX 4000-600)


I doubt that there is a complete list anywhere. I remeber that when I ordered
the KA655 tech guide I was just guessing at the part number and had to wait
while whoever it was at the other end went and tried a few database lookups.
Exactly How I managed to get from "VAXstation 2000 and MicroVAX 2000 Technical
Manual" to EK-VTTAA-TM.001 I'll never know!
