**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.

**950 LPC I/O <07/16/99
***Info:
The SIS950 is a LPC Interface based highly integrated Super I/O. The
SIS950 provides the most commonly used legacy Super I/O functionality
plus the latest Environment Control initiatives, such as Hardware
Monitor, Fan Speed Controller and SiS’s "SmartGuardian" function. The
device’s LPC interface complies with Intel "LPC Interface
Specification Rev. 1.0" (Sept. 29, 1997). The SIS950 meets the
"Microsoft PC98 & PC99 System Design Guide" requirements and is ACPI
compliant.
The SIS950 features the enhanced hardware monitor providing 3 thermal
inputs from remote thermistors, thermal diode or diode-connected
transistor (2N3904). The device also provides the SiS innovative
intelligent automatic Fan ON/OFF & speed control functions
(SmartGuardian) to reduce overall system noise and power consumption.
The SIS950 has integrated nine logical devices, featuring an
Environment Controller (controls three Fans). The Environment
Controller has temperature, voltage and Fan Speed monitors. One Fan
Speed Controller is responsible to control three fan speeds through
three 128 steps of Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) output pins and to
monitor three fan's tachometer inputs.
Other features include one high-performance 2.88MB floppy disk
controller, with digital data separator, supporting two 360K/ 720K/
1.2M/ 1.44M/ 2.88M floppy disk drives. One multi-mode high-performance
parallel port features the bi-directional Standard Parallel Port
(SPP), the Enhanced Parallel Port (EPP V. 1.7 and EPP V. 1.9 are
supported), and the IEEE 1284 compliant Extended Capabilities Port
(ECP). Two 16C550 standard compatible enhanced UARTs perform
asynchronous communication, and support IR, one consumer remote
control (TV remote) IR, one MPU-401 UART mode compatible MIDI port,
one game port with built-in 558 quad timers and buffer chips to
support direct connection of 2 joysticks, and six ports (48 GPIO
pins). There is also a flash ROM interface with Address (FA[0:18]),
Data (FD[0:7]), and supporting three control signals FCS#, FWE# and
FRD#. In addition, a SmartGuardian engine is provided to monitor the
system condition and reacts to the detected condition accordingly.
These nine logical devices can be individually enabled or disabled via
software configuration registers. The SIS950 utilizes power-efficient
circuitry to reduce power consumption. Once a logical device is
disabled, the inputs are gated inhibit, the outputs are TRI-STATE and
the input clock is disabled. The SIS950 requires a single 48/24 MHz
clock input and operates with a single +5V power supply.
The SIS950 is available in 128-pin PQFP (Plastic Quad Flat Package).
