Yep. Since 1996 there are not many problems, but previous data is difficult to obtain. It depends on somebody which digitalize the doc.

ThanksNo small part of the problem is that this was the early days of the Internet and PDF files. I don't recall how quickly PDF was adopted by everyone. Some products that only lasted a few years may have not made it onto PDF files. Rick C.
I was talking with former employees of NSC, which worked with the CLAy architecture. None of them has the datasheets XD. My other doubts (not related with CLAy) are still there XD. Any help will be apreciated. Thanks

Pilkington licensee Plessey (ERA), Toshiba (TC? somebody know about datasheets? I only have a paper) and Motorola (MAP1000). Somebody know others? I read it "others" a lot of times, but no more names.> See if you can track down someone from Lattice Logic in Edinburgh.

Also the coolrunner CPLDs from Philips.> I expect you've read this and checked the references: > https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/7086413/Yes, I read it and a lot more of paper. Any idea about Prizm? I found nothing about. I also know about IBM10016 (an AT6000 variation), Crosspoint's CP20K and Plasma from HP. My main doubts know are: * What about Prizm? * Was Plus Logic a FPGA vendor, or only CPLDs? * What about the Clay from Nationals? were originals or licensed? * What about others Pilkington based? * Is there a datasheet from TC series of Toshiba? I found other things from Toshiba called TC XD See you.
Some of the old parts (Motorola, Toshiba, and others) were licensed from Pilkington - that gives you another search term :) See if you can track down someone from Lattice Logic in Edinburgh. They were gurus and were very well connected. More parts for your list: Xilinx 5200 and Xilinx 8100.

In fact, is the only one that I already have XD I copy and paste my list of missing datasheets where I didn't update that I found it the last week. I know that they are very old datasheet and if I didn't found in internet, old desktops are the only opportunity! I think that the worst cases are Plus Logic products, due that I think that were not marketed and there is very little information. Thanks

Hello. My name is Rodrigo and I am from Argentina. I was looking for very old datasheets without success :-( (I searched a lot in google, archive.org, alldatasheets, and more places...).
