**Spelling errors/mistyped words
Yes, I  know there are  spelling errors,  and things are  mistyped. It
seems no matter  how hard I try  my fingers hit 't'  twice when typing
'compatible' rendering it 'compattible' numerous, (thousands actually)
times.  I  don't have the  time or the will  to check the  spelling of
everything. Basic spell checking has been peformed. Please let me know
if  there is  anything that  would lead  to incorrect  information, or
something  is so  mangled  that  it needs  revising.  But  if you  can
basically  understand  what was  intended,  just  cope with  it.  Just
cope:-)

BTW, "110" port is  an "I/O" port that has been OCRed  badly, as is an
"1/0" port.

**82496/491     Cache Controller / Cache RAM (for P5 Pentium) 03/22/93
***Notes:...
***Info:
The 82496 Cache Controller and multiple 82491 Cache SRAMs combine with
the Pentium processor  to form a CPU Cache chip  set designed for high
performance  servers  and   function-rich  desktops.  The  high  speed
interconnect between  the CPU and cache components  has been optimized
to  provide zero-wait  state operation.   This CPU  Cache chip  set is
fully compatible  with existing software,  and has new  data integrity
features for mission critical applications.

The 82496 cache controller implements the MESI write-back protocol for
full multiprocessing support. Dual  ported buffers and registers allow
the 82496  to concurrently  handle CPU bus,  memory bus,  and internal
cache operation for maximum performance.

The 82491. is a customized high-performance SRAM that supports 32, 64,
and 128-bit  wide memory bus widths,  16, 32, and 64  byte line sizes,
and optional sectoring.  The data path between the  CPU bus and memory
bus  is separated  by the  82491, allowing  the CPU  bus  to handshake
synchronously,  asynchronously,  or   with  a  strobed  protocol,  and
allowing concurrent CPU bus and memory bus operations.
