NS32K based systems were never common in the computer world.

There have been two well documented hardware/software platforms - The
Ceres line of workstations running Oberon and the homebrew PC532
running BSD-532.

I would like to gather a list of who may have documentation on the
commercial NS32K hardware. A first step in creating a wide use NS32K
emulator/simulator. The list below is from Wikipedia and various NS32K
related posts:

S-100: Compupro 32016

Q-Bus: General Robotics Corp. Python

VME: Heurikon VME532

Proprietery: National Semi ICM-3216, ICM-332-1, SYS32/20

Multiprocessor minis: Encore Multimax, Sequent Balance

Workstations: Siemens PC-MX2, MX300, and MX500, Symmetrics S/375,
Tecktronics, Trinity College Workstation, Whitechapel MG-1 and MG200

Add-on cards: Acorn Business Computer (models 200 & 210), Definicon
DSI-32, Opus

Knowing if some documentation still exists on the above, notably
hardware, would be very usefull.
