It's on my to-do list to trace out the Springboards* at some point, once I 
have them over here with me (sometime next year) - it'd be nice to try and 
make them "do something". I need to finish off the '286 trace too (unless 
someone happens to have it anyway?) - I only got half of it done before moving.

I should probably try and do the Cumana 68008 too, but that one's even more 
complex than the 286 :-(

* one's a "PC ARM co-processor", the other a "PC ARM application card", with 
on-board IOC; I've never been certain if they're both technically Springboards 
or not.

cheers
