Thanks to Andy Holder for posting the reference list for the NDDO
parameter sets...  This, coupled with the References section of the
MOPAC V6 manual (thanks, Jimmie Stewart) looks like the entire set.

They're in virtual agreement, each with one unique paper:

P-MINDO/3
G. Frenking, F. Marschner and H. Goetz
Phos. & Sulf. 8:337(1980)

Be-MNDO
M. J. S. Dewar and H. S. Rzepa
J. Am. Chem. Soc. 100,777(1978)

I assume that there will be a wave of new parameter sets when the
new methods hit the street - Thiel's d-orbital work and AMPAC's
inclusion of d-orbitals.  Now all we must do is make the codes
able to handle 500 atoms, and run very quickly :-)
