**What's not included:
All information included in this file can be referenced to some
document or picture. Or at least should be:-) As a result of this,
proprietary chip sets, and odd combinations of different chip sets are
not usually included. There tends to be scant information on
proprietary chip sets, i.e. no datasheet. Similarly chip sets built
using some components from one manufacture and some from another are
kind of difficult to deal with.
An example I know of is a 25 MHz 386 DX motherboard that uses the
Intel N82230/N82231 (formerly, ZyMOS) 286 chip set, with an AUStek
cache Controller. I know it existed but there is no documentation.
So the best I can say you'll have to take my word that it existed. I
can't include it because there is no real information there.
Also not included is anything that isn't a PC-compatible chip
set. I.e. no Macintosh info. Any Information on PC-incompatibles/
pseudo-compatibles, and other weirdi-type stuff I have a particular
interest in. See the section: 'Info needed on'. Some information on
video chip sets is included, occasionally but the focus is on
motherboard implementation.

***Info:
Overview
The OPTi Viper-MAX Chipset provides a highly integrated solution for
fully compatible, high performance PC/AT platforms based on the Intel
3.3V Pentium Processor, Cyrix 6x86 Processor, and AMD K86 Proc-
essor. As the latest member of the Desktop Viper Chipset Family, it is
designed from its inception to be the highest performance Pentium
chipset ever. its feature set can be scaled to address entry level
UMA-based system to high-end non-UMA work stations and servers. The
deep buffers in the Viper-MAX minimize system level latencies and
maximize through-puts to both DRAM and PCI subsystems.
The chipset provides 64-bit core logic, with Unified Memory Archit-
ecture (UMA), and integrated PCI support, plus sophisticated power
management features. This highly integrated approach supplies the
foundation for a cost effective platform without compromising per-
formance. Its feature set furnishes an array of control and status
monitoring options that are accessed through a simple and straight-
forward interface. All major BIOS vendors provide extensive software
hooks that allow system designers to integrate their own special
features with minimal effort.
82C566 Data Buffer Controller
The 82C566 performs the task of buffering the CPU to the DRAM memory
data path.
o CPU to memory data buffer
o CPU to PCI local bus buffer
o Memory to PCI local bus buffer
o 208-pin PQFP
82C567 System Controller
The 82C567 provides the control functions for the host CPU interface,
the 64-bit Level-2 (L2) cache, the 64-bit DRAM bus, and the PCI
interface. The 82C567 controls the data flow between the CPU bus, the
DRAM bus, the local buses, and the 8/16-bit ISA bus. It interprets and
translates cycles from the CPU, PCI bus master, ISA master, and DMA to
the host memory, PCI bus slave, or ISA bus devices. The 82C567 also
serves as the UMA (Unified Memory Architecture) and USB (Universal
Serial Bus) protocol interface.
o 3.3V CPU interface
o DRAM controller
o L1/L2 cache controller
o UMA arbiter
o USB interface
o PCI interface
o Arbitration logic
o Data bus buffer control (memory data bus to and from host data
bus)
o 208-pin PQFP
82C568 Integrated Peripherals Controller
The 820568 contains the ISA bus controller and includes an 82C206, RTC
interface, DMA controller, serial interrupt controller and distributed
DMA. It also has a sophisticated system power management unit.
o ISA bus controller
o Master mode IDE
o Type F DMA support
o Integrated 82C206 IPC
o System power management functions
o PCI local bus interface
o PCI to ISA expansion bridge
o Serial interrupt controller
o Distributed DMA
o Keyboard emulation of A20M# and CPU warm reset
o Port B and Port 092h Register
o 208-pin POFP
