Hello,
I have to do a research paper on both 88100 and 88200. I was
wondering if anyone can email me of a source where I can get applications
notes for them? Also, names of any books and/or articles, that contain
a general discussion on pipelining and multitasking, relating to m88100?
Thanks,
Farhan.

[I decided to post this instead of replying, because others have been asking for the same info. Hope that's ok] You need to contact Motorola's Literature Distribution Center. There are User's Manuals for both the MC88100 and MC88200, and they have Technical Overviews of both also, along with a number of other publications. Here's their address: Motorola Semiconductor Products Inc. Literature Distribution Center P.O. Box 20924 Phoenix AZ 85036-0924 (602) 994-6561 1-800-521-6274 Also make sure to contact 88open. I feel confident that they can also help you out. (I have some very nice glossy 8x10" color photos of the two chips from them, and they have a good not-to-technical summary of the architecture.) Their address is: 88open Consortium Ltd. 100 Homeland Court, Suite 800 San Jose CA 95112 (408) 436-6600 As far as magazine articles go, just ask your friendly local librarian to show you how to look up articles in technical journals and industry mags. The 88000 was introduced in April 1988, so if you just look in all the magazines around then (both before and after), you will find them. Motorola sent me a reprint from Electronics, Feb 18 1988. It's one of the first articles on the 88000, and came out before they settled on a name for the chip. There are probably other article reprints available from Motorola too. There was a really good article on how the 88000 was designed and implemented. It appeared in VLSI Systems Design, May 1988, page 24. Jay Ts, Director Metran Technology uunet!pdn!tscs!metran!jay

Today (Monday) I tried following my own directions... First of all, the number for the Literature Distribution Center is 1-800-441-2447. I called there, and they said they no longer give the User's manuals away for free, but I could get them (free) from the local sales office. (They gave me a long-distance number to call for that, which was not the local sales office, and they were out of 88000 manuals anyway. The local sales office is also a long-distance call, but no one was there!) It was so much easier when they sent them out from Phoenix! I asked the Lit. Dist. Center to send Application Notes and Article Reprints, and they told me I would have to specify by name what publications I wanted, and to find those out from the Application Design Line at 1-800-521-6274 (the number I originally posted). They told me that they couldn't give me the publication names over the phone, but would send me a list by mail. What a Pain! It used to be so easy to get documentation from Motorola.
