I don't know that it'll help, but the (Addison-Wesley?) published
manuals ceased right around that timeframe. Subsequently, each new
hardware model was do***ented in tech notes. I had several binders
full of 'em, those days. Those tech notes might still be available on
Apple's dev site; recently I picked up the tech notes covering my
dad's old Performa.
BTW I don't recall any Apple do***entation regarding the PMMU, we
referred to Motorola do***entation (I was writing SCSI drivers back
then). Good luck, you haven't described your project, but I sure loved
working with those old Macs and it's nice to hear that someone is
keeping them alive!
