<h3><font color="#0000e0"><strong>Hardware documentation:</strong></font></h3>

Previous to 2007, it was extremely difficult or impossible to get much of

the neccessary hardware documentation for these machines. Members of our

team (in particular David Gwynne) were instrumental in pressuring and

convincing Sun to go back into their archives and dig up the data sheets

that they had written in-house, describing the operation of their chips to

their own engineers. These documents can now be found at

Some documents are still missing at that site, so we ask that interested

developers contact Sun and request additional information.
