About the spec for the SPARC: they are totally useless for SW developpers, what is needed is the spec of the interface for the *chipset*.

And Sun didn't open this part, I remember it quite well: Theo complained quite loudly that Sun tried to look cool by open-sourcing the SPARC, but they didn't open-source the important part..
