Yup, I've got it, but the V20/30-specific one is better (IMOHO) on 
the nitty-gritty for programmers of those chips.

I liked the V40/V50 a lot--80186-ish, but with signals to tell you 
which segment register was being used for memory references, so you 
could have up to 4 separate 1MB memory spaces.

Cheers,
