I've got my well-thumbed copy of the SPARC architecture handbook lying 
around at work.  I needed it when I was learning OS internals and the 
like.  Good book.

Someday, I'm going to go spend some time learning to do assembly-level 
programming on the SPARC.  It's a fun processor.  Too bad more people 
don't use the VIS instructions, they are really slick.
