I'm working on adding double integer (32-bit) instructions to the HP 1000 
simulator under SIMH.  The 1000 F-Series computer came standard with these 
instructions, and I have documentation on the opcodes used.  The E-Series 
did not have them, but there was a "specials group" product -- HP number 
93585A -- that added firmware support for these instructions.  However, the 
opcodes were different from the F-Series opcodes to avoid conflict with 
other E-Series microcode options.

Does anyone have information on the opcodes used in the 93585A product?

I have found a reference to a manual, HP number 93585-90007, "93585A Double 
Integer Firmware Installation and Operating Manual," but I cannot locate a 
copy.
