The UltraAX is a particular board, for which there is an OEM technical manual. The problem there is that I've got one of the only two copies I've ever seen. As for the UltraSPARC processor, yes there's a manual. I don't have a copy with me, but it is a relatively complete (definitely useful) manual. Does anyone know where external info for Sun manuals can be found (this needs to go into the FAQ)? I just walk down to the lit room and grab a copy...
