For myself, from Intel's very useful reference manuals
for the processors.  They cost quite a bit, though, or
did (probably a lot more now).

In those days there was no WWW or even Internet to get
them from...

Try contacting Intel's sales department or distributors
(large electronic mail order places, the sort who will 
sell you everything from resistors in packs of 1000 to
processors, often have a technical documentation 
department who can help).

The Intel Web pages say: 

  Chargeable documents cannot be ordered through this 
  program. They can, however, be purchased by contacting: 

  McGraw Hill 
  International orders may be faxed to: 1 (614) 755-5645 

Or perhaps someone in the US could contact the Intel 
Literature Center at 800-548-4725 for us outside the US
and ask them who the European distributors are...

(You're right about PDF, though.  I don't have anything
which will read those files...)
