**Who made the first chip set?
By the criteria of (2.) in 'Definition of a chip set' many sources
state this to be the Chips and Technologies NEAT chip set. I don't
know why this is stated as it is most definitely incorrect. The CS8221
NEW Enhanced AT (NEAT) chip set consisting of the chips;
82C211/82C212/82C215/82C206 was as far as I can establish, first
released sometime in 1986.
C&T itself have an earlier chip set called the CS8220 PC/AT compatible
Chip Set, and consists of the following chips; 82C201/82C202/
82A203/82A204/82A205. It was first available in OCT-85. (see:C&T>
CS8220>Notes for further info.)
That is, AFAIK, the first motherboard chip set from C&T and AFAIK the
worlds first chip set that meets the criteria of (2.). However C&T did
already have on the market their popular EGA chip set, but that isn't
a motherboard chip set.
By the criteria of (1.), IBM, or Intel, see IBM>PC/XT chip set.
Another pre-'86 chipset is the Faraday FE2010. The datasheet includes
a schematic on the very last page dated 11/22/85. This only indicates
the chip set was on paper at that date. An acutal release date has not
been found.

**M1535/D South Bridge ?
***Info:
The M1535 provides the highest integration south bridge solution
between PCI bus and Peripheral buses for personal computer systems. It
includes audio, high-speed modem, Super I/O and Fast IR integrated in
to one chip to complement any one of ALi’s North Bridge solutions
namely M1541, M1621 and M1631.
The M1535 is PCI spec. 2.2 compliant. It provides steerable PCI
Interrupts for PCI device Plug-and-Play, it has up to 8 PCI interrupts
routing, it has level to edge trigger transfer. It has enhanced DMA
controller. It provides 14 interrupt channels as Interrupt Control-
ler. It provides 8254 Compatible timers for system timer, Refresh Re-
quest, Speaker Output use. It has 7 DMA channels that can be
arbitrarily programmed as distributed channels. It provides 1 PC/PCI
DMA channel interface. It supports serialized IRQ in quiet/continuous
mode. It supports Plug-and-Play. It has built-in PS2 Keyboard and
mouse controller. It provides hot plugging events detection.
The M1535 also provides the best power management solution. The M1535
integrates ACPI support, deep green function, 2-channel Ultra
DMA-33/66 IDE bus master controller, 4-port USB controller, SMBus
controller, Super I/O, audio system and software modem into one
27mmx27mm BGA (Ball Grid Array) chip.
Further more, the M1535 is designed to meet the requirements of
desktop, mobile PCs.
