I've got large amounts of processor documentation which I used in the past when writing my initial CPU identification code, but I am shortly going to be working on updating it with more code for older processors. Currently the code detects:
32-bit (386 and later) x86 processors
386
486
CPUID
NexGen
Cyrix (using DIRs when detected)
UMC
C&T
IBM 386/486SLC and 486BL3
Early i386DX steppings (up to B1, using procdessor features)
386SX/DX
CPUID and Reset ID codes are interpreted for almost all 386 and later processors (I say almost all as I am sure there are some missing from my list).
I can't remember if I coded for SMM and Am386SXLV, but I have the info for that
I also have the info to detect:
8086
8088
80c86
80c88
80186
80188
V20
V30
286
I am looking for any datasheets that provide stepping information on any processor earlier than a Pentium or Pentium class, datasheets from companies that have been dead and gone for more than 5 years and any old Spec Updates. Basically any documentation that is more than 5 years old, is not easily found through google searches (if at all) or company websites, and anything that provides information on how to detect differences not mentioned above between variants of different x86 (and earlier) processors.
I am always looking for datasheets on UMC, C&T, early Cyrix and various other processors, as well as obsolete documentation and spec updates from any company. If anyone has older documentation they can provide links to or email me and wants a list of what I have, I'll be able to email a full list of what older documentation I have (particularly when I find what I ahve that is no longer available through a search on google) in a couple of days. Now I have my web site almost ready to go online (finally finished processing scans of 99% of my CPU collection, the eproms will be done after the site goes live) I can get back to other projects that have been on hold  _________________ My graphics card database can be found at http://www.gpuzoo.com.
I can resist anything except temptation.
