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. Brad Siim 519 883-3043
