You know, a really good place to get info like this is at used book stores,
particularly ones that specialize in technical books, such as Powell's
technical annex here in portland.  Alos, note that you can get data books
from manufacturers, sometimes free, or from parts stores when they get new
ones, they give you the old.  I have several shelves of old data books, most
in te 1983-1986 range, which for all but the very latest and greatest is
just fine.  Places like Jameco will sell you data sheets on just about any
chip they sell.

Finally, last ditch for some, first for fools like me, there's the code
itself.  I spent a few hours disassembling the SSC Rom once.  Very
educational.
