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  has been sourced  from the
second.

This  chip was  used on  the Pentium  66MHz CPU  complexes of  Intel's
Xpress platform.   Specifically the  BXCPUPENT66 (Single  66MHz, eight
82491s) and BXCPU2XPENT (Dual 66 MHz,  eight 82491s). Also found on P5
60/66MHz CPU complexes of IBM 9595/PC Server 300/500 systems.

**SL82C360   'Haydn' 80386DX/SX chipset [no datasheet]         c:Jun91
***Notes:

http://www.cbronline.com/news/symphony_introduces_the_haydn_family

"Santa Clara, California-based  Symphony Laboratories Inc has unvieled
a family  of highly integrated core  logic chip sets for  all forms of
AT-alike personal  computers: the Haydn family  comprises the SL82C460
set for  80486 systems and the  SL82C360 set for  80386 machines; each
set includes two devices, a system controller and a bus controller and
an optional cache controller chip  can be added if cache capability is
required;  the   parts  are  in  volume  production   and  a  complete
motherboard can be created with as few as eight active components plus
memory; all operate at 50MHz and  beyond and the sets are supported by
all  major BIOS  vendors; the  sets cost  from $50  to $100  apiece in
quantities of 100-up."
