I just fouund a copy of the "Intel iAPX 432 Object Primer", Rev 1.1 
(Preliminary), August 1980, author Dick Kaiser.

Marked as having been used by me during my "syncsurvey", the survey of 
existing synchronization primitives I did during my MS at UIUC.  I.e. 
before I worked at Intel.  Although I may have received it at McGill in 
the early 80s.
