***Overview (History):...
***Summary of sections:
§1 Lists the various support chips associated with the Intel designed
systems.
§2 Contains the datasheets of chips used in, or related to the
PC/XT *and* datasheets that are related to the AT. Datasheets
between 1975 and 1982 (January) have been included in this section.
The IBM PC was introduced August 12, 1981. The 1981 datasheet
catalog used as a source to write this section is dated January
1981. Since this is quite a long time before the introduction of
the PC, also included, is information sourced from the 1982
datasheet catalog. This is dated January 1982, and does not give
any specifications of the iAPX 286 (80286) architecture.
This should hopefully give an idea of what chips were available
from Intel around the introduction of the IBM PC.
§3 Is a list of chips actually used in the IBM PC/XT
§4 Is a continuation of datasheets of chips used in the IBM PC/XT/AT
from 1982 to 1984. Only chips that are actually used by one of the
IBM systems are included for brevity. This section is cumulative on
section 2. Specifically, for a given chip, this section includes
information sourced from all datasheets before 1984.
§5 Is a list of chips actually used in the IBM AT
§6 Is like §4, but is up to 1989.

***Notes:...
***Info:
The 82371MX PCI I/O IDE Xcelerator (MPIIX) provides the bridge between
the PCI bus and the ISA-like Extended I/O expansion bus. In addition,
the 82371MX has an IDE interface that supports two IDE devices
providing an interface for IDE hard disks and CD ROMS. The MPIIX
integrates many common I/O functions found in ISA based PC systems-a
seven-channel DMA controller, two 82C59 interrupt controllers. an 8254
timer/counter, Intel SMM power management support, and control logic
for NMI generation. Chip select decoding is provided for BIOS, real
time clock, and keyboard controller. Edge/Level interrupts and
interrupt steering are supported for PCI plug and play compatibility.
The MPIIX also provides the Extended I/O Bus for a direct connection
to Super I/O devices providing a complete PC-compatible I/O
solution. MPIIX also provides support for the “Mobile PC/PCI" DMA
Expansion protocol that enables the implementation of Docking Stations
with full ISA and PCI capability without running the full ISA bus
across the docking connector. For motherboard Plug-n-Play
compatibility. the 82371MX also provides three steerable DMA
channels. up to three steerable interrupt lines, and a programmable
chip select. The interrupt lines can be routed to any of the available
ISA interrupts.
The MPIIX’s power management function supports SMI# interrupt sources,
extensive clock control (including Auto Clock Throttling), peripheral
power idle detection with access traps. system Suspend-to-DRAM and
Suspend-to-Disk.
