   I played phone tag with a few people until I finally hit bottom on what
Intel has as of today.  There are three introductory packets that Intel just
loves to send to interested parties.  They contain the intro information stuff
from above.  If you want to get more involved in the i860 processor, order the
appropriate manuals above.  There are no corresponding manuals for the i80486
microprocessor yet; stay tuned to your local sales office for details.  I have
added a short description after each title, including a page count (leaving out
tables of contents and other low-information pages).
   386, Intel386, 80386, i386, 486, ICD-486, i486, 860, and i860 are trademarks of Intel Corporation.

   Order # JG-11 for the i860 chip has:
 no #   ISSCC cover letter (no big deal)
240410  "A 1,000,000 Transistor Microprocessor" article reprint, 3 pp.
240438  "Introducing the Intel i860 64-bit Microprocessor" market o-view, 2 pp.
240455  "i860 Processor Performance" benchmark report, 13 pp.
240296  "i860 64-bit Microprocessor Advance Information" data sheet, 71 pp.

   Order # JG-16 for i80486 microprocessor original equipment manufacturers has:
240459  "Intel i486 Family Product Briefs", 18 pp.
240440  "i486 Microprocessor" data manual, 167 pp.
280872  "ICD-486 In-Circuit Debugger" fact sheet, 2 pp.
280871  "i486 Microprocessor Development Tools" fact sheet, 3 pp.
231998  "A Performance Report on The 386 Family of High Performance [sic],
        32-bit Microprocessors" benchmark report, 14 pp + code + perf. table

   Order # JG-17 for i80486 microprocessor end users has:
