This page last updated OCt 31 2011.
This Web page describes the Multibus I resources I have, mostly manuals and Multbus I cards, card cages. There are also Web links to other Intel related Web pages, and other Web sites. My general Web page for Multibus, VMEbus and STDbus items is on this linked page. To email @ me for details or to order, check my ordering page.
My understanding is that Intel sold their rights and licenses for Multibus I and Intel's Multibus I products. For the history of Intel's Multibus license holders, check my early Intel history Web page.
I have a part number list of old Intel manuals. Follow this link for the .doc file.
As of 2008 I have a working Multibus I system. Check this linked Web page for specifics.

this cage and power supplyare from Monolithic Systems. Seven slot Multibus card cage with backplane, no P2 bus. Also corresponding power supply, open frame (not switching) type. Pulled untested. These are rack mount, not deep so you can mount cage in front and powersupply in back. We may keep this for use so we won't give this away. Ask about a quote otherwise.
These are moved to this Web page.
I had (and sold in 2006) an Intel MDX 431A system for ICE-51 development with disks and docs; and a collection of Intel ISIS format diskettes. See this linked Web page about that system and related Intel materials. Some of the diskettes used an early form of double density used by Intel on ISIS called M2FM; see the linked Web page for details. Contact me if you are looking for software or manuals from this system, I'll pass contacts along to the new owner.
The Intel system is in a white Intel cabinet, not a "blue box". Multibus I based system with 5" floppy, 5.25" hard drive, monitor, kbd system boots up from hard drive, Intellect IV iNDX ver 2.8 software environment 8088/8089 based system with software and ICE hardware for 8051 development ICE-51 8051 emulator card and pod, with MCS-51, PL/M-51, ASM-51 s/w various original diskettes and manuals for IAPX86, 8085 as well.
In addition to that system I had assorted Intel diskettes, manuals for ISIS, Credit, PL/M, iRMX. Most of them were read and are now available online at bitsavers.org. Follow the links above for details.
But I retained a few of these diskettes as follows:
S BG79 Insite Library 1 of 2 non-system (copy)
S BG79 Insite Library 2 of 2 non-system (copy)
S AB31 BG59 BG77 BG78 Insite Library non-system (copy)
I have these documents. Good paper photocopies are available from me for a modest fee, contact me for details. If these are described as files or CD-ROM's, the files are available as a postal-mailed CD-ROM. I do not scan and PDF paper documents for you, sorry.

iAPX 86, 88,186 Microprocesssor WOrkshop Notebook Ver 2.0", in two volumes, July 1984. Each is about an inch thick. These amount to Powerpoint slides (two per page) plus some coding exercises. There's a little bit of 286 material as well. It's all under ISIS-II, including assembler and linkage. Also some hardware stuff about minimum/maximum mode, multiprocessing. SOme 8089 and 8087 programming also. It's not deep but it's wide and would be good material for anyone starting to use ISIS and starting to work with these processors.

From the beginning of Intel, they published "handbooks" documenting chips, software, and hardware. These were softbound books about 8 inches by 5 inches; a common format in the 1970's and 80's before the Web and CD-ROM's. I have a collection of these from Intel from that period. As time permits I'll list them here and try to provide some details. Some of these may duplicate component data sheets which were also published in 8.5 X 11 inch format.
My terms for photocopying these is that I'll provide one of two formats. Either two 8 X 5 pages per 8 X 11 sheet; or enlarged each 8 X 5 page to 8 X 11 size. The cost will be PER PAGE "PRINTED". So the two half-sized pages on one sheet count as one page, the two half-sized pages on TWO sheets counts as TWO pages. Contact me for prices.
