***Info & Features:
M1561 Overview
128-bit Super-Socket7 North Bridge for AMD-K6-III with integrated 3D
and Video Highest-performance game playing in a single integrated chip
The M1561 integrates the following functionalities in a Unified Memory
Architecture PC:
o 3-D Graphics
o 2-D Windows Acceleration
o VGA Display Controller
o SDRAM Memory Controller
o PCI Bus Interface
M1561 supports the 66/100/1XX MHz Socket 7 Front Side Bus. It is
System Memory Management (SMM) and Advanced Configuration and Power
Interface Specification (ACPI) compliant.
M1561 uses 66/100/1XX MHz SDRAM with LVTLL input/output signals. The
chip supports up to four memory DIMMs.
Power supplies are 2.5V for the core and 3.3V for most of the I/O. A
5V reference is needed for the 5V tolerant PCI inputs. Reference
voltages for ArtX and ArtX+ are also needed.The part is packaged in a
35x35mm 492 ball Thermally Enhanced Ball Grid Array (T 2 BGA) package.
North Bridge Features
o 128-bit Data Streaming architecture for highest performance
SMA/UMA
o PC99 compliant
o 100/66MHz CPU Front Side Bus, 1XXMHz ready
o Standard PC-100/66 SDRAM (up to 1 GB) PC-1XX ready
o 33 MHz PCI 2.2 compliant I/O bus
o ACPI power management
o Compatible with single-chip ALi M1535D and M1543 South Bridges

**82C599 PCI-VLB Bridge [no datasheet, some info] ?
82C599 PCI-VLB Bridge referenced in:
http://web.mit.edu/netbsd/src/sys/dev/pci/pcidevs
from:
https://web.archive.org/web/20050313090427/http://www.os2forum.or.at/english/info/os2hardwareinfo/pci_chips.html
"The Contaq Chipset (Contaq: 1080/4224) (8/27/95)
The Contaq 82C599 is paired with one of their 486VL chipsets (82C596
or 82C597) and bridges directly from the 486 CPU to the PCI bus.
Paraphrased from the Contaq spec.:
The 82C596 system controller provides the CPU interface, VESA bus
interface, ISA bus controller, etc. The 82C599 PCI controller provides
the bridge between PCI master/slave agent and the ISA/VESA standard
expansion bus; it arbitrates all the bus transactions between host
CPU, PCI agent, VESA device, and ISA device.
(Which sounds to me like the PCI bus is attached to the VL bus, rather
than to the CPU, which will cause PCI performance degradation.)"
