I've given this question to various people in our local sales office and they all say they don't know but they'll check into it. None have called back yet (it's been weeks) so maybe I can get an answer here. We have a bunch of DECstation 3100s but no manuals yet because our sales people had the wrong part numbers or else misinterpreted the numbers they did have when we placed the order. One of our programmers needs to get his hands on an assembler manual for these critters. My question is simple (at least it should be). Is the assembler manual included in the doc set? If not, can it be ordered seperately, and if so what is the part number? If not, is there any other way to get it? Thanks in advance for any leads. -Mitch Collinsworth mitch@squid.tn.cornell.edu

I don't remember seeing anything like an assembler manual in our doc. set for the DS3100, but there's a general MIPS architecture/assembler manual available for the R2000/R2010 and R3000/R3010. "MIPS RISC Architecture", Gerry Kane, Prentice-Hall, Englewood Cliffs, N.J., 1988 I've seen this around in the local computer bookstores - it seems to be fairly common. It's on the level of the old Motorola MC68000 reference; i.e., general discussion of the architecture with an instruction reference for the processor and the FPU. I don't know if the this is authoritative with respect to the DS3100, but it's a start. ----- Steve Boyle The MITRE Corporation sboyle@mitre.org Burlington Road (617) 271-2460 Bedford, MA. 01730
