Anyway, I found some other very interesting things on your page, such as
the layout of the SSSD floppy, so my wiki will benefit of some serious
enhancements
Thanks

In order to test things, I've developped a
simulator and assembler
for the P857, although without floating point and I/O processor, as I
have no documentation for that, so maybe I can harvest something from
the documents you have. Are the mailable, or do you need to scan them
first?
I have the P856M/P857M service manual online (actually for 11 years
now ;-) )
It's the first hit from Google if you search for it.
This manual includes detailed description of the CPU, including the
I/O processor (appendix B), the MMU (appendix C) and the FPP (appendix
D).
