I really don't recall where those documents came from; it was long before I
joined the XFree86 project, so I'm sure I didn't sign any kind of NDA for
them.  Given what I now know about S3's policy, I suspect they were
inappropriately redistributed at the time, so I've made them inaccessible
again.

I'd forgotten they were on my web site.  Too much disk space can be a 
dangerous thing.  I was under the impression that XFree86 had an NDA with 
S3 covering this documentation.  If so, you need only apply for 
"membership" in XFree86.  "Membership" is a formal relationship with 
XFree86 which permits the redistribution of material covered by various 
old NDAs that XFree86 used to have with hardware manufacturers; most 
current vendors use other methods to keep their designs private.
