I didn't -- I have the 21066 core.

The OEM manual says, in its Table 1 (Conventions):

: DECchip 21066
: 	Except where noted differently, DECchip 21066 refers to
: 	the DECchip 21066/21066A/21068/21068A processor.

Section 3 talks a lot about different CPUs.  My OEM design
guide is rev. C01 and it's said to outdate rev. B01 of the
manual.
