**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.

**82C499         DXSC DX System Controller                        c:93
***Info:
The  OPTi  82C499 provides  a  highly  integrated  solution for  fully
compatible, high-performance  PC/AT platforms. This  chip will support
the  Intel  486SX/DX/DX2/487SX,   Intel  386DX  and  IBM/Cyrix  486DLC
microprocessors in the most cost effective and power efficient designs
available today.  Since  the device is so critical  to the performance
and cost structure  of a PC, this highly  integrated approach provides
the foundation for a very cost effective platform without compromising
performance.  For  power users,  this chip offers  optimum performance
for  systems  running up  to  50MHz. The  OPTi  DXSC  chip provides  a
solution  positioned  to deliver  value,  without neglecting  quality,
compatibility, or reliability.

The  82C499 integrates  a write-back  cache controller,  a  local DRAM
controller,  an integrated  peripherals controller  (82C206),  the CPU
state machine,  the AT bus  state machine, and  data buffers all  in a
single 208-pin PFP.  New on-chip hardware provides the  hooks for OPTi
and VESA local bus device support.
