The Macintosh Family Hardware Reference was published by Addison-Wesley
in August 1988. I bought it at B. Dalton's Bookstore. $26.95. From the
preface, "this book provides overviews of the architecture of Macintosh
computers and detailed descriptions of the hardware components that
make up these computers....Book is intended to provide background and
reference information for hardware engineers designing peripheral
devices for Macintosh computers and for system programmers who need an
understanding of the hardware in order to optimize their code."

The 2nd edition of the Apple's Numeric Manual is also now in the
bookstore.
