that might be because there do not seem to be any Cisco ATM switches
actually in production
Lightstream, Catalyst 85xx, IGXes all went end of life a while back.
you should still be able to find the info on the cisco web site though
- but whether public docs ever went to that level of detail is a
different Q

ATMforum used to do a lot of development work - you can find their
docs at their new home:
http://www.ipmplsforum.org/tech/atm_specs.shtml
IBM made some pretty good ATM gear until they decided to give up on
building network plumbing - a lot of it is covered in the IBM Redbooks
http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/
public ATM switches (ie telco gear rather than enterprise) tends to
use different design constraints - try the various manufacturers
The ones i recall include cisco, newbridge (now part of Alcatel), and
Fore (part of Marconi, who just got swept up into Ericsson).
