- What you want is the "SPARCcenter(TM) 2000 Architecture and Implementation"
- white paper, of which I have a Draft Edition of 10 November 1992 in front of
- me. It covers the XBus and XDBus implementation, SBus interface, memory
- interface, as well as JTAG implementation (less detailed) and other funky
- stuff.
-
- Unfortunately, it has no allocated part number, but a Sun SE might be able to
- get you a copy if it has been released.
