We don't need processor docs. That stuff is trivial. We need *chipset docs*. And those are still not available under Sun's new program. So it is STILL a complete matter of reverse engineering. Same as with Apple, of course: powerpc is trivial. But the chipsets on every Apple machine are subtly different, full of bugs, and reading Darwin is a terrific waste of time since the code is so horrid, and of course, it is all just a maze of workarounds. Verilog for ultrasparc? Give me a break. We don't care.
