Try the IEEE website - most of those specifications are either created by or have passed through the IEEE.

Hmmm... I apologise, I'd forgotten about that. I think their are copies of the specifications at the Engineering Library on my Campus. It's a possibility you might be able to get ahold of them from a similar source...

Root around for a copy of "The Computer Hobbyist's Handbook", published by Babani in the 1980s - I had a copy, and it covered all the interfaces that existed at the time, both the spec and the physical connectors. If you're scouring the library, it's a (just-)sub-A4 paperback, about 1cm thick, with a *very* green cover and a picture of an Amstrad 1512 PC on the front.
