**SL6012  Memory Mapper for PC-AT (74LS612 compatible)          <Jul87
***Info:
The SL6012 Memory  Mapper is intended for use in  PC-AT design. It can
expand an address bus by 4  bits. In PC-AT applications, 4 bits of the
source  address   are  used  to  select   1  of  16,   eight  bit  map
registers. These registers  are normally programmed (through software)
with the  starting address of each  memory page. The  register data is
output directly for  use as the most significant  bits of the expanded
address bus. The 8 bits from the SL6012 are used along with the unused
source address bits to form the expanded address bus.

As shown  in Table 1  [see datasheet], the  SL6012 has three  modes of
operation; read, write and map. Data may be written into, or read from
the Memory  Mapper when  chip select CSN  is low. The  register select
inputs (RS0 through RS3) select one of the sixteen map registers. When
RWN is  low, data is written  into a register from  the data bus. When
RWN is high  data is output from a Memory Mapper  register to the data
bus.

The map mode of operation is selected when chip select CSN is high. In
this mode, the  register data selected by the  map address inputs (MA0
through  MA3)  will be  available  on  the  map outputs  (MO0  through
MO7).  Note that  the map  registers are  addressed by  either  the RS
inputs or  the MA inputs depending  upon the operating  mode. When MEN
(Map Enable) is low the map  outputs (MO0-MO7) are active. When MEN is
high, the map outputs are at high impedance.

**VL82C325             VL82C386SX System Cache controller            ?
***Info:
The VL82C325  Memory Cache  Controller is  a high  performance; highly
integrated cache controller for systems  based on the VLSI Technology,
Inc.'s TOPCAT 386SX or SCAMP-LT chip sets. To implement a 32KB two-way
set associative cache subsystem, all  that is required is the VL82C325
and two 8K x 16 cache data  RAMs. The VL82C325 has been designed to be
an integral  part of the  TOPCAT386SX chip set. this  feature improves
the overall system  performance by reducing the number  of wait states
during non-cache cycles when compared  to cache controllers which must
pipeline all  cycles which  can not  be serviced  by reading  from the
cache  data  RAM.   The  VL82C320A TOPCAT  System  Controller  or  the
VL82C310 SCAMP  Controller, and  the VL82C325  operate in  parallel to
decode 386SX requests. The controller  starts decoding the 386SX cycle
simultaneously with  the VL82C325  and is  therefore able  to actually
start a  memory cycle  before a  miss indication  is generated  by the
VL82C325.
