"The Contaq Chipset (Contaq: 1080/4224) (8/27/95)

The Contaq 82C599  is paired with one of  their 486VL chipsets (82C596
or  82C597) and  bridges directly  from the  486 CPU  to the  PCI bus.
Paraphrased from the Contaq spec.:

The  82C596 system  controller provides  the CPU  interface,  VESA bus
interface, ISA bus controller, etc. The 82C599 PCI controller provides
the bridge  between PCI master/slave  agent and the  ISA/VESA standard
expansion  bus; it arbitrates  all the  bus transactions  between host
CPU, PCI agent, VESA device, and ISA device.

(Which sounds to me like the PCI bus is attached to the VL bus, rather
than to the CPU, which will cause PCI performance degradation.)"

**GC101/102/103 12/16MHz PC/AT Compatible Chip Set + EMS 4.0   c:Jul89
***Notes:...
***Info:
The GC103 is a companion chip  to the GC101/102 AT chip set. Replacing
the GC102  in its Address Buffer  mode, this chip adds  logic to fully
implement LIM, EMS  4.0.  This device expands the  capabilities of the
GC101/102  chip set.   It adds  support for  up to  8MB of  memory and
Shadow RAM for systems  and video BIOS. The register-intensive design,
combined  with the  use of  system memory,  offers extremely  high EMS
throughput compared with EMS  systems using fewer mapping registers or
expansion  memory. The  GC103 contains  a chip  mapping  register that
allows  EMS  to operate  at  full  system  speed without  adding  wait
states. With 2 sets of  32 EMS registers context switching in hardware
as well as software is supported.

The GC103 provides address buffering  for the expansion bus, local I/O
bus, and the  system board DRAM.  Address ,  DMA, and Refresh controls
are  included  in the  GC103.  The  chip  integrates additional  logic
previously implemented discretely in  the GC101/102 board design. This
device is packaged in a 160 pin quad flatpack.
