**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.
