**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.

**FE2010/A      XT CPU controller integrated Circuit         >11/22/85
***Notes:...
***Info:
The Faraday XT CPU controller  integrated Circuit (FE2010) is a highly
integrated chip that allows designers to easily build a IBM compatible
PC or XT single board computer.

The FE2010 has  been designed for OEMs who would  like to reduce cost,
lower power requirements, increase  reliability, and reduce board size
over that of  a functionally equivalent IBM PC or  XT motherboard. The
FE2010 replaces a total of 71 components, while reducing the size of a
typical PC/XT motherboard by 77% (Appendix A).

The FE2010 replaces functionally five Intel peripheral controller IC's
in  a motherboard (8284  Clock Generator,  8288 Bus  Controller, 8259A
Interrupt  controller, 8237A DMA  controller &  8253 Timer).   In add-
ition, it supports both 64K and  256K memory types and has an internal
configuration  register  to replace  external  switches  in the  board
design.

The FE2010 is a 2 micron CMOS gate-array packaged in an 84 Pin J- type
Leaded Surface  Mount Plastic Chip Carrier (mating  socket Burndy part
number Q1LE84P10).
