**82C496/7       DXBB PC/AT Chipset (Cached)                 <01/16/92
***Info:
The OPTi  82C497 is a Direct  Mapped Write Back  cache controller with
one level write buffer that is  an optional part of the DXBB (Building
Block) Chip  set.  The DXBB also  contains the 82C496  and the 82C206,
which form the  heart of the system.  The 82C497 is  added to the DXBB
chip set for cache based systems.

The OPTi  82C496 offers an  upgradable CPU module  base-board solution
for the 80386  or the 80486 PC/AT system. By  swapping the CPU module,
the  vendor can configure  the 82C496  driven base-board  into various
32-bit AT  systems - 386 or 486  CPU, with cache or  without cache and
rated at 16MHz- 50MHz.

For the Non-Cache systems, the CPU interfaces directly with the 82C496
and the local devices, like the local VGA controller or the local hard
disk adaptor.

For cache based systems the 82C497 (the cache controller) sits between
the CPU and  the 82C496 and the local devices.  All the high frequency
signals are isolated by the  82C497. This allows the base-board to run
at a fixed speed  (25 or 33MHz) - while the CPU  and the Cache can run
synchronously at any determined  rated speed. This provides a reliable
upgrade method for the CPU modules.

**WD76C20x   Floppy, RTC, IDE and Support Logic Device       <11/25/91
***Info:
GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The  WD76C20 is  a member  of  the WD7600  chip set  which provides  a
cost-effective,  power-efficient   solution  to  PC   systems  design,
especially those  relating to "lap-top" devices. The  set includes the
WD76C10, the WD76C20, and the WD76C30 as shown in Figure 1-1. Together
these chips  provide all necessary  logic to build a  fully integrated
system board for several  varieties of IBM PC/AT compatibles including
systems using 80286, 80386SX, and 80C286 processors.

As  part  of  this  chip  set, the  WD76C20  provides  these  integral
functions:
o Bus Interface Logic
o IDE Interface
o Chip Select Logic
o Floppy Disk Controller
o Real Time Clock
o Suspend/Resume Logic

The Floppy  Disk Controller (FDC) component  provides necessary timing
and signalling between the host  processor peripheral bus and a floppy
disk drive through a cable connector.

The Real Time Clock  component provides calendar and clock information
for the system.

The IDE Interface  controls buffering between the system's  AT Bus and
PC/AT compatible IDE drive interface.

The  Bus  Interface  Logic  controls  buffering of  data  between  the
system's AT Bus and the WD76C20.

The  Chip Select  Logic section  provides decoding  for  selected chip
functions both within the WD76C20 and on the PC/AT motherboard.

Suspend/Resume  Logic provides  support  for chip  set power-down  and
resume sequences.
