Revision as of 12:38, 26 April 2010

This page lists publically available datasheets and programming guides from various vendors. It includes CPU, chipset, Super I/O, and many other datasheets.

If datasheets are expected to become public in the near future, they may get listed as well to make sure people know what to expect.
