**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.

**Info needed on:...
**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.

**M1535/D        South Bridge                                        ?
***Info:
The  M1535  provides the  highest  integration  south bridge  solution
between PCI bus and Peripheral buses for personal computer systems. It
includes audio, high-speed modem, Super  I/O and Fast IR integrated in
to  one chip to  complement any  one of  ALi’s North  Bridge solutions
namely M1541, M1621 and M1631.

The  M1535 is  PCI spec.   2.2 compliant.   It provides  steerable PCI
Interrupts for PCI device Plug-and-Play, it has up to 8 PCI interrupts
routing, it  has level to edge  trigger transfer. It  has enhanced DMA
controller.  It  provides 14 interrupt channels  as Interrupt Control-
ler.  It provides 8254 Compatible timers for system timer, Refresh Re-
quest,  Speaker  Output  use.  It  has  7  DMA  channels that  can  be
arbitrarily programmed as distributed  channels.  It provides 1 PC/PCI
DMA channel interface.  It supports serialized IRQ in quiet/continuous
mode.  It  supports Plug-and-Play.  It  has built-in PS2  Keyboard and
mouse controller.  It provides hot plugging events detection.

The M1535 also provides the  best power management solution. The M1535
integrates  ACPI   support,  deep  green   function,  2-channel  Ultra
DMA-33/66  IDE bus  master  controller, 4-port  USB controller,  SMBus
controller,  Super  I/O, audio  system  and  software  modem into  one
27mmx27mm BGA  (Ball Grid Array)  chip. 

Further  more, the  M1535  is  designed to  meet  the requirements  of
desktop, mobile PCs.
