Yes there are a least two versions of 960CA databooks(no timing info given).

80960CA USER's Manual 1989  ISBN 1-55512-099-7
i960CA Microprocessor Users Manual 1992    order number 270710-002 

There is also datasheets published in intel's 16/32 bit embedded controller
databooks.  The name of the data book seems to change every year so I can't 
give you an exact name.(timing info can be found here)

There is a higher performance addition to the family called 960CF. It is pin
and source code compatible with the CF. BIGGER CACHES and a DMA controller
that works.  Try to get the extra features (Errata) for the processor and 
the data sheets if you actually intend to build hardware.
(There are lots of little gotcha's). This applies to both CA & CF versions.

GNU provides an excellent compiler for the 960. Intel also has a GNU version
which can run on either a PC/UNIX environment. 

I have been using this processor for over a year.  It is very nice to work
with from both a H/w and software point of view.  It has a very complicated 
set of reset tables due to it's flexibility.
