I don't know EXACTLY. There is so much material on-line I couldn't even  
evaluate the completeness by looking at the titles (which are broken into  
multitudinous subdirectories). However, I spent an hour scanning and  
printing some of the 3.0 on-line docs and found that most pieces are  
present. There seems to be an alignment with the docs that are advertised  
to be coming from Addison-Wesley. However several had the "not on-line"  
comment instead of text. The biggest change is that the old System Refs  
are now called General Ref, and System Admin is not part of the  
machine-bundled user docs. (It IS on-line by the way.)

Also someone asked about the DSP docs. After my cursory perusal I was only  
able to find an Appendix that has "DSP Details" (i.e. memory map,  
connections, and chip instructions).

Note: Addison-Wesley (1-800-447-2226) will take backorders for the new  
docs. They will send you a catalog which should have all the order info. I  
haven't gotten my catalog yet. They offer a 10% discount to educational  
departments.
