**VL82C594/596/597 Wildcat                                         c95
***Notes:...
***Info:
Wildcat is  a 586-class PCI  chipset comprised of the  VL82C594 System
Controller, two  VL82C595 Data Buffers, and  the VL82C596/VL82C597 ISA
Bridge. The VL82C596 is for single processor systems using a P5, P54C,
P54CS, P55C,  K5, or M1 CPU.  The VL82C597 includes the  Intel IO APIC
for use  in Intel-based dual processor systems.  The VL82C594 supports
up to 1G of  fast page mode or EDO DRAM. It also  supports up to 1M of
async,  sync, or  PBSRAM.  The  VL82C595 data  buffers  work with  the
VL82C594  to  provide 3smart2  write  buffering  to yield  exceptional
performance with  or without an L2  cache. The VL82C596/597  acts as a
PCI-ISA bridge and incorporates advanced power management features and
a Real-Time Clock with integrated write protection.
