The info and features section have  been solely sourced from the first
source.   The  second source  provides  far  more detail.   Additional
information in the configurations section  and below have been sourced
from the second.

"Although the 82497 Cache Controller  is part of the Pentium processor
(735\90, 815\100, 1000\120, 1110\133) CPU-Cache Chip Set and the 82496
Cache  Controller is part  of the  Pentium Processor  (510\60, 567\66)
Chip  Set, the  two parts  are functionally  identical except  for the
differences noted in this section." - p491

Aside  from some  minor  differences in  pin  configuration, the  main
difference is the direct support  for 3.3V processors. This chipset is
still a 5V part. The cache operates at bus speed, max 66MHz.


This  chip was  used on  the Pentium  90MHz CPU  complexes of  Intel's
Xpress  platform.   Specifically  the BXCPUPENT90  (Single  90MHz,  16
82492s). Also found on IBM 9595/Server 500 Pentium 90MHz complexes.

**W83777F/87F     Power I/O   (Multi I/O)                          <95
***Info:
GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The  W83777F/W83787F  integrates a  disk  drive  adapter, serial  port
(UART), parallel port, IDE bus interface, and game port decoder onto a
single I/O  chip. The  W83777F/W83787F is an  enhanced version  of the
W83767F  Power l/O  chip. The  enhanced functions  include  one 2.88MB
floppy disk controller (W83777F only), two 16550 compatible UARTs, and
one parallel port with EPP mode, ECP mode, and joystick mode.

The  disk drive  adapter functions  of the  W83777F/W83787F  include a
floppy  disk drive  controller compatible  with the  industry standard
82077/765,  data  separator,  write pre-compensation  circuit,  decode
logic, data  rate selection, clock generator,  drive interface control
logic,  and interrupt  and  DMA  logic. The  wide  range of  functions
integrated  onto the  W83777F/W83787F  greatly reduces  the number  of
components  required  for interfacing  with  floppy  disk drives.  The
W83777F/W83787F  supports  four  360K,  720K, 1.2M,  1.44M,  or  2.88M
(W83777F  only)  disk  drives  and  data transfer  rates  of  250KB/S,
300KB/S, 500KB/S, and 1MB/S (W83777F only).

There  are two high-speed  serial communication  ports (UARTs)  on the
W83777F/W83787F.  The  UARTs  include  16-byte send/receive  FIFOs,  a
programmable baud  rate generator, complete  modem control capability,
and a processor interrupt system.

The  W83777F/W83787F  supports  three optional  PC-compatible  printer
ports: 378b, 278h and  BBCh.  Additional bi-directional l/O capability
is available by hardware control or software programming. The parallel
port  also supports  the  Enhanced Parallel  Port  (EPP) and  Extended
Capabilities  Port (ECP).  The  W83777F/W83787F supports  two embedded
hard  disk drive  (AT bus)  interfaces and  a game  port  with decoded
read/write output.

The W83777F/W83787F's Extension FDD Mode and Extension 2FDD Mode allow
one or two external floppy disk drives to be connected to the computer
through the printer interface pins in notebook computer applications.

The  Extension  Adapter  Mode  of the  W83777F/W83787F  allows  pocket
devices to be installed through the printer interface pins in notebook
computer applications according to a protocol set by Winbond, but with
upgraded performance.

The JOYSTICK mode allows a joystick to be connected to a parallel port
with a signal switching cable.

The configuration register supports address selection, mode selection,
function enable/disable, and power down function selection.
