I'm not sure if it's actually in the public domain, but Intel mailed
me a copy of an i860 interrupt handler without any problems. Try calling
the MAS 860 hotline at (408) 765-4444, and they will be able to help,
if the group still exists. They are located in Santa Clara, California, BTW.
If you are developing on the i860, these are folks you want to keep 
in touch with. They were really nice to me.
