Try calling the MAS 860 hotline at (408) 765-4444, and they will be able to help, if the group still exists. They are located in Santa Clara, California, BTW. If you are developing on the i860, these are folks you want to keep in touch with. They were really nice to me. -Bob Ellefson (408) 459-3224 bobeson@spica.ucsc.edu

I believe Intel will make it available to anyone who asks for it... At least they gave it to me!!! -- Jim Morris, E-Mail: jim@shograf.com Voice: (415) 903-3887 _ SHO graphics. Practical PEX
