**What's not included:
All information included in this file can be referenced to some
document or picture. Or at least should be:-) As a result of this,
proprietary chip sets, and odd combinations of different chip sets are
not usually included. There tends to be scant information on
proprietary chip sets, i.e. no datasheet. Similarly chip sets built
using some components from one manufacture and some from another are
kind of difficult to deal with.
An example I know of is a 25 MHz 386 DX motherboard that uses the
Intel N82230/N82231 (formerly, ZyMOS) 286 chip set, with an AUStek
cache Controller. I know it existed but there is no documentation.
So the best I can say you'll have to take my word that it existed. I
can't include it because there is no real information there.
Also not included is anything that isn't a PC-compatible chip
set. I.e. no Macintosh info. Any Information on PC-incompatibles/
pseudo-compatibles, and other weirdi-type stuff I have a particular
interest in. See the section: 'Info needed on'. Some information on
video chip sets is included, occasionally but the focus is on
motherboard implementation.

***Notes:...
***Info:
The OPTi Python Chipset provides a highly integrated solution for
fully compatible, high-performance PC/AT platforms. Together, with
OPTi's 82C206 Integrated Peripheral Controller (IPC), this chipset
will support the Pentium processor in the most cost effective and
feature-rich designs available today. This highly integrated approach
provides the foundation for a cost effective platform without
compromising performance. The OPTi Python Chipset supplies a powerful
solution positioned to deliver value without neglecting quality,
compatibility, or reliability.
The Python Chipset is comprised of two chips, the 82C547 System
Controller (SYSC) and the 82C546 AT Bus Controller (ATC). A complete
Pentium processor solution consists of the Python Chipset and the
82C206 Integrated Peripheral Controller (IPC).
82C546 (ATC) AT Bus Controller
The 82C546 ATC integrates the AT bus interface and data buffers for
transfers between the CPU data bus, local data bus and the DRAM data
bus. It also provides the ISA to local bus command translation.
o 208-pin PQFP
o Data bus buffer (host data to memory data)
o Data bus buffer control (ISA to memory)
o Parity generation and detection circuitry
o Keyboard controller chip select
o Local bus interface (ISA to local bus command translation)
82C547 (SYSC) System Controller
The 82C547 SYSC provides the control functions for the host CPU
interface, the 32-bit local bus interface, the 64-bit Level 2 (12)
cache and the 64-bit DRAM bus. The SYSC also controls the data flow
between the CPU bus, the DRAM bus, the local bus, and the 8/16-bit ISA
bus.
o 160-pin PQFP
o Pentium CPU interface
o DRAM controller
o L2 cache controller
o Ll cache controller
o Local bus interface
o Reset generation
o Arbitration logic
o Data bus buffer control (memory data to/from host data)
o Extended DMA page register
o Keyboard emulation of A20M# and CPU warm reset
o Port B and Port 92h Register
82C206 (IPC) Integrated Peripherals Controller
The 82C206 IPC provides two DMA controllers, two interrupt control-
lers, one timer/counter, and a real-time clock in an industry standard
single-chip solution for the peripherals attached to the PC/AT
peripheral bus.
o 84-pin PLCC or 100-pin PQFP
o Supports four DMA transfer modes
o Special Commands provided for ease of programming
Support Chips
The 82C606A and 82C606B are two buffer/translation devices used to
translate 3.3V signals to 5.0V signal levels in Python motherboard
solutions. These devices buffer the CPU address bus to the ISA and VL
address buses, the 82C546 ATC's memory data bus to the ISA data bus,
the peripheral XD bus to the ISA SA and SD buses. The 82C606A and
82C606B integrate a number of glue logic TTL devices (approximately
eleven), hence reducing the amount of TTL on the motherboard. The
82C606A and 82C606B devices are actually the same device with two
strapping options. Pulling the CONFI/2# pin high causes the device to
function in the 82C606A Mode. Pulling the CONFII2# pin low configures
the device to function in the 82C606B Mode of operation.
o 100-pin PQFP
o Mixed voltage to support 3.3V to 5.0V signal translation
o Two devices replace approximately eleven TTL devices
