The primary reference for the SPARC architecture is Sun's SPARC
architecture reference manual.  You can get it from Sun, and we
also sell it. ($25)

The architecture manual does not describe any of the implementations;
only what is required for software compatibility.  Documentation on the
specific SPARC chips can be obtained from the vendors, particularly
Fujitsu and Cypress.  They have data sheets, and also reference manuals
that are very similar to Sun's architecture manual.

There were also some good articles in Sun Technology about 6-12 months
ago.  (Sun Technology is a free controlled-circulation magazine
published by Sun.)
