Would that make the books into multivolumes.. Ouch, mail, production
costs shoots up. :)

Sensible...I have problems with that because few makers did not
publish their pinouts like right now, I am working on a Nec 386dx 33
cached "all in one" motherboard without a case, PSU or anything. Just
bare board with all complete chips and I add a cpu, PSU adapter to
take standard pc PSU. Right now working out a pinout for keyboard
port! I do not have the slot tree riser for it. Aw. it's a Nec 386
33i as shown in bios bootup.

Nec is worst when asking for help/info such as this petty stuff. :(

OUCH! That's overkill! Compared to the ST496 series manual, it 's
just right! :) But we are only interested in jumpers and bit of
tidbits?
