This is an excellent package available from (as I remember) Hamilton
Avenet and other for about $85.  It includes 4 spiral bound manuals, and
some duplicated stuff.   You get:

	Writing FCode Programs for SBus Cards
	SCSI Implementation Guide
	Sun Common SCSI Architecture
	Open Boot PROM Toolkit User's Guide
	SBus Specification A.2
	Writing SBus Device Drivers

Plus:
	Sun Developer's Kit Discette

This is a tremendous bargain, and you should take advantage of it.
