Has anyone a select code for this book? AT&T Customer Information doesn't what it is, and I'm pretty sure it exists. It was supposed to come out in October. If anyone has the book, how do you like it? How much does it cost? Thanks -- -- ...!ihnp4!ttrdc!exp747!qpsn!david David Carpenter [home] (312) 545-8076

Being the one that annonced the book, I am sad to say that it has been delayed again. Why? I don't know. When will it really be available? I am going to bash some heads and find out. When in know, I'll post another article. Chris Donahue AT&T Info. Sys. Application Engineering

The WE 32100 reference manual does contain the instruction set but: 1) It's a reference manual, not a tutorial with examples (which some people need) 2) It does not contain the 3B family instruction set - IS25. The manual I referenced is more complete and more user friendly. I am still pursuing dates. Chris Donahue AT&T Info. Sys. Application Engineering

Select code 451-000 is a processor reference manual (reasonably complete, but with annoying typo's and omissions). It is not an assembly-language textbook. And it does not have any useful illustrative examples of how to program the chip in assembly language. -- carl lowenstein marine physical lab u.c. san diego {ihnp4|decvax|akgua|dcdwest|ucbvax} !sdcsvax!mplvax!cdl

All I really need is cycle times/instruction times. xoxorich.

I have two minor pieces of new information. 1) the official title is: "The Assembly Language Programming Manual for the AT&T 3B2, 3B5, and 3B15 Computers". 2) The Select Code is: 305-000. Finally, availibility will not be until sometime in late Feb. or early March. A printer ready draft will be delivered to me in late Dec. Barring any further problems, the draft will be made available to cases of extraordinary need in Jan. Chris Donahue AT&T Info. Sys. Application Engineering
