**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.

**82C110 IBM PS/2 Model 30/Super XT ?
***Notes:...
***Info:
The 82C110 is a single chip implementation of most of the system logic
necessary to implement a super XT compatible system with PS/2 Model 30
functionality using either an 8086 or 8088 microprocessor. The 82C110
can be used with either 8 or 16-bit microprocessors. The 82C110
includes features which will enable the PC manufacturer to design a
super PS/2 Model 30/XT compatible system with the highest performance
at 10 MHz zero wait state system with an 8086, the highest
functionality with dual clock and 2.5 MB DRAM {with integrated
Extended Memory System control logic}, the highest integration with
the lowest component count SMT design.
The 82C110 can be combined with-CHIPs’ 82C601 Multifunction Controller
and 82C451 VGA Graphics Controller to provide a high performance, high
integration PS/2 Model 30 type system.
The 82C110 supports most of the peripheral functions on the PS/2 Model
30 planar board; 8284 compatible clock generator with the option of 2
independent oscillators, 8288 compatible bus controller, 8237 comp-
atible DMA controller, 8259 compatible interrupt controller, 8254
compatible timer/counter, 8255 compatible peripheral I/O port. XT
Keyboard interface, Parity Generation and Checking for DRAM memory and
memory controller for DRAM memory sub-system.
The 82C110 enables the user to add PS/2 Model 30 superset func-
tionality on the planar board: dual clock, with synchronized switching
between the two, clocks. built-in Lotus-Intel-Microsoft (LIM) EMS
support for up to 2.5 Megabytes of DRAM.
The 82C110 supports a very flexible memory architecture. The DRAM
controller supports 64K, 256K and 1M DRAMs. These DRAMs gen be
organized in four banks of up to a maximum of 2.5 MB on the planar
board. The 2.5 MB memory can be implemented with 2 banks of 7M X 1
DRAMs, partitioned locally as 540KB of real memory and 1,875 MB of EMS
memory. The 82C110 is packaged in a 100-pin plastic flatpack.
