**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.
**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.
