Before I left Visionary Design Technologies, we spent a great deal of time
trying to get some questions answered about the ECS, and met with very
little success.  They went as far as pulling our software up on their
debuggers, but would not simply inform us of what the new registers
were/did.  
 
 It seems to me, that if you are already publically selling a machine/chip
 set, then it's probably about time to make public any information which is
 necessary for developers to program it!
