Documentation for older x86 processors
Does anyone know where I can download the programming manuals for the
older x86 series of processors. I know that more current versions are available from Intel in portable document format, but I would like some similar documentation for the older processors, such as the 80486, the Pentium 75 and the Pentium 120. Also, do AMD or Cyrix have similar reference documentation for their processors? I am specifically interested in programming manuals relating to the Cyrix 686, AMD K5 and AMD K6 series processors.

www.sandpile.org Hmmm, that looked a useful site. Unfortunately its document links are all dead. Maybe I can locate the files using a search engine on the linked filenames. Cheers, Mark. -- Mark Hobley Linux User: #370818 http://markhobley.yi.org/ |

This site may have the datasheets you need: http://www.datasheetarchive.com I also have AMD data CDs from that era. If you can't file a particular document, drop me a line via email. - Franc Zabkar -- Please remove one 'i' from my address when replying by email. |

What about on the Cyrix 686? And the Pentium instructions: cmpxchg8b, rdmsr, rdtsc, wrmsr ... Do they exist on the AMD K5 and AMD K6? What about on the Cyrix 686?
