**IBM PC/XT/AT Chip Sets
***Datasheets:...
***Read Me:...
***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.
