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
