"The Contaq Chipset (Contaq: 1080/4224) (8/27/95)

The Contaq 82C599  is paired with one of  their 486VL chipsets (82C596
or  82C597) and  bridges directly  from the  486 CPU  to the  PCI bus.
Paraphrased from the Contaq spec.:

The  82C596 system  controller provides  the CPU  interface,  VESA bus
interface, ISA bus controller, etc. The 82C599 PCI controller provides
the bridge  between PCI master/slave  agent and the  ISA/VESA standard
expansion  bus; it arbitrates  all the  bus transactions  between host
CPU, PCI agent, VESA device, and ISA device.

(Which sounds to me like the PCI bus is attached to the VL bus, rather
than to the CPU, which will cause PCI performance degradation.)"

**SN74LS610/2 IBM AT: SN74LS610, SN74LS612 Memory Mappers          <84
***Notes:...
***Info:
Each 'LS610  and 'LS612  memory mapper  integrated circuit  contains a
4-line to  16-line decoder, a  16-word by  12-bit RAM, 16  channels of
2-line to 1-line multiplexers, and  other miscellaneous circuitry on a
monolithic chip. Each  'LS610 also contains 12 latches  with an enable
control.

The memory  mappers are designed  to expand a  microprocessor's memory
addressing capability by  eight bits. Four bits of  the memory address
bus (see  System Block Diagram)[see  datasheet] can be used  to select
one of 16 map registers that contain  12 bits each.  these 12 bits are
presented  to the  system memory  address bus  through the  map output
buffers  along with  the  unused  memory address  bits  from the  CPU.
However, addressable memory space  without reloading the map registers
is the  same as would  be available with  the memory mapper  left out.
The  addressable  memory  space  is  increased  only  by  periodically
reloading the  map registers  from the  data bus.   This configuration
lends itself  to memory utilization  of 16 pages of  2^(n-4) registers
each  without reloading  (n -  number of  address bits  available from
CPU).

These  devices have  four modes  of operation:  read, write,  map, and
pass.  Data may be read from  or loaded into the map register selected
by  the register select  inputs (RS0  thru RS3)  under control  of R/W
whenever chip select (CS) is low. The data I/O takes place on the data
bus DO thru D7. The map  operation will output the contents of the map
register selected by the map address  inputs (MA0 thru MA3) when CS is
high and  MM (map mode control)  is low. The 'LS612  output stages are
transparent in this mode, while  the 'LS610 outputs may be transparent
or latched. When CS and MM are both high (pass mode), the address bits
on MA0 thru MA3 appear at M08-MO11, respectively (assuming appropriate
latch control) with  low levels in the other bit  positions on the map
outputs.
