**A note on VESA support of 486 chipsets.
Many chipsets state  that they support VESA local  bus.  In some cases
these actually  implement VLB somewhat  like PCI, where it  is entirly
decoupled from the CPU bus. Chipsets  that do not state they work with
VLB,  may  be found  on  motherboards  that  contain VLB  slots.   VLB
is  *basically*  The 486  CPU  pinout in  a  slot  form. Unless  these
m/boards contain  some additional  chips, there VLB  implementation is
directly coupled to the CPU.

***Features:
o   Provides eight trigger input channels for monitoring activities 
    such as keyboard, video, hard disk, floppy disk, and user defined 
    device.
o   Provides eight power control outputs
o   Each power control output status can be determined by the 
    combinations of the eight trigger inputs
o   Provides eight user programmable time-out timers.
o   Flexible timer scales:
      2 timers from 1/8 second to 14 seconds
      4 timers from 1 minute to 15 minutes
      1 timer from 2 minutes to 210 minutes
      1 timer from 4 minutes to 7 hours
o   Each trigger input can select one of the two timer scales
o   No glitch CPU clock switching functions
