Craig,

try the Intel FAXback service. This ought to get you as close as identifying the
Intel databook, even if it doesn't get you the datasheet itself. If you/your
company do an kind of business with Intel you should be able to ring one
of their distributors and get the data sheet.

In a 1994 version of the faxed-back Microprocessor And Peripheral Catalogue
there are a couple of documents on the kdb controller.

FAXback is on +44 (0) 1793 496646 (Europe)
800-628-2283 (US)
916-356-3105 (US)
