From a 176 page manual I got from Intel at the recent COMDEX, titled `i486 MICROPROCESSOR', the order number is 240440-001. (This is what they gave me when I asked for a data sheet). I've not yet seen a programmers reference manual, which is what I'm primarily interested in... Hope this helped. Rich Kuhns pur-phy!sawmill!rjk

I called the Intel literature people, and they claimed that they had no info yet on the numbers for the 486 manual set, or on the 860 hardware ref manual. Anyone from Intel listening that knows when these will be out, and what the numbers will be? -- James Sterbenz Computer and Communications Research Center Washington University in St. Louis 314-726-4203 INTERNET: jps@wucs1.wustl.edu UUCP: wucs1!jps@uunet.uu.net

So tell me has ANYBODY actually SEEN one of the i860 Assembler manuals???? I have been told that they are listed in Intel's order system, but that they are "unavailable". I'd like to have one and I'd be happy to pay for it. Actually, I understand from a friend who works in a software development group at a large computer company (which has already announced a comittment to the i860) that even *they* don't have an i860 assembler manual yet! What gives? >-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- >DISCLAIMER: Intel pays me well for the opinions it wants; the other stuff > remains mine.
