I assume you mean the 80960CA. 

Leafing through my Intel Solutions960 book...`

(1) First, if you want to do your own board eventually, call Intel and ask for
    the schematics for their TOMCAT board.  It's not a production board, but
    they are more than happy to send the schematics.  They used it as a
    benchmarking system.  It includes:

    33 MHz 80960CA, 2 MB Flash, Boot Eprom, 82596CA Ethernet Controller,
    2 serial ports, 3 timers/counters, 4 MB static RAM 0 w/s, wirewrap
    area.
