***Read Me:
This section, IBM PC/XT/AT "Chip Sets", is very long and detailed. It
is perhaps over detailed. However all other chips listed in this
document are derived from these chips. Besides if you're reading this
document, details may interest you:-)
If you just want to get to info on the chips, choose section
6. Reading ***Summary of sections, will help.
