**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.

**HT12/+/A      Single 286 AT Chip with EMS support            c:Aug90
***Info:
The  HT12, an IBM  PC/AT compatible  chip, supports  the 80286  CPU at
clock speeds  to 16MHz.  This  highly integrated chip  solution offers
high  performance  and  reliability,  with  low  cost,  minimal  power
consumption,  and low  board-space requirements.  It differs  from the
HT11 by the addition of 4 EMS Registers and an EMS Software Driver.

A  fully PC/AT  compatible system  is  implemented with  this chip  by
adding a CPU/NPU, KBD CNTRL, RTC,  BIOS, Memory and a few low cost TTL
devices.

This  chip supports  64K, 256K  and 1M,  x1 and  x4, DRAMs  in config-
urations up  to 4 Meg.   A 12.5MHz 0  wait-state system can  be imple-
mented using  80ns DRAMs  while a 10MHz  0 wait-state  system requires
100ns  DRAMs.  The  memory  controller also  supports  the shadow  RAM
feature and the  Split Memory option.  The Split  Memory option allows
the System RAM located between 640K and 1M to be remapped above top of
memory.

The HT12 contains CPU  and peripheral support functions; including DMA
controllers, a  memory mapper, timer/counters,  interrupt controllers,
and a bus controller.  This  chip replaces board address buffers, data
transceivers,  memory  drivers, parity  generators  and their  support
circuits. This chip is packaged in a 160 pin Flat Pack.
