There are three introductory packets that Intel just loves to send to interested parties. They contain the intro information stuff from above. If you want to get more involved in the i860 processor, order the appropriate manuals above. There are no corresponding manuals for the i80486 microprocessor yet; stay tuned to your local sales office for details. I have added a short description after each title, including a page count (leaving out tables of contents and other low-information pages). 386, Intel386, 80386, i386, 486, ICD-486, i486, 860, and i860 are trademarks of Intel Corporation.
