If you mean the two documents Al dug up a few months back, that is all
there is. And trust me, there is more to it than that. It only details
the electrical interface. Each card bus masters and has a fifo addresses
assigned by the master and a protocol the runs over the fifo defined in
the SVR3 source (rather obscurely). So if you can elaborate on where I
can get the documents describing that, I would love to have them. There
is no documentation other than the SVR3 source itself that details the
WE32xxx view of the machine.
