**Spelling errors/mistyped words
Yes, I  know there are  spelling errors,  and things are  mistyped. It
seems no matter  how hard I try  my fingers hit 't'  twice when typing
'compatible' rendering it 'compattible' numerous, (thousands actually)
times.  I  don't have the  time or the will  to check the  spelling of
everything. Basic spell checking has been peformed. Please let me know
if  there is  anything that  would lead  to incorrect  information, or
something  is so  mangled  that  it needs  revising.  But  if you  can
basically  understand  what was  intended,  just  cope with  it.  Just
cope:-)

BTW, "110" port is  an "I/O" port that has been OCRed  badly, as is an
"1/0" port.

***Features:
o   PCI-to-PCI Bridge
    - Efficient Repeater Architecture. Mirrors Most Transactions 
      Across the Bridge
    - Subtractive Decoding Guarantees that All Accesses Targeted for a
      Down Stream ISA Bridge (such as the MISA) Arrive at Destination
    - Supports the PCI Bus Enumeration Mechanism for PCI-to-PCI 
      Bridges 
    - High Performance Bridge Supports Fast Back-to-Back agents, and
      Memory Prefetching
    - Supports a 5V Desktop PCI Interface for up to Four Bus Master
      PCI Add-in Card Slots on the Secondary PCI Bus
    - The MISA PCI-to-ISA Bridge Allows a Docking Station to have an
      Additional Three ISA Slots
    - PC/PCI DMA Protocol and PCI Docking Interface Creates a Very
      Low Pin Count Docking Connector
o   Full Docking Support
    - Notebooks can be Docked with No Pre-conditioning: On, Off, or
      Suspended (powered-on, to DRAM, or to disk)
    - Undocking Mechanism Guarantees Uninterrupted Notebook Operation
    - The Same Docking Station can be used with 5V and 3.3V Notebooks
    - Supports Automatic Isolation of All Active Docking Connector 
      Signals
    - Support for Both Desktop (A/C powered) and Mobile (Battery
      Powered) Docking Stations
    - Non-Volatile Memory Interface to Store Docking Identification, 
      and Notebook Configuration Information
o   Full Power Management Support for Mobile Docking Stations
    - Suspend (Powered-on, to DRAM, and to Disk)
    - Resume
    - PCI Clockrun Protocol
    - Powered-on Suspend/Resume Mode for NC Powered Desktop
      Docking Stations
    - Low Power Mode Support for Undocked Mobile Docking Stations
o   208-lead SQFP Package for the 82380FB MPCI2
