**SL9XXX   FlexSet family General information
The SL9XXX series seems to have  been designed to work with the 80286,
80386SX and 80386DX, and is  possibly compatible with the 80486. What-
ever CPU used, the chipset  contains the following chips, known as the
"Core AT Logic chips":

SL9011 System  Controller
SL9020 Data Controller (2x for 32bit 386DX)
SL9025 Address Controller
SL9030 Integrated Peripheral Controller

The memory  controller is then selected  based on the  CPU. It appears
that the lineup originally consisted  of the following chips, known as
"Personalized AT Logic":
SL9151 Page Interleave Memory      (80286)
SL9250 Memory Controller           (80386SX)
SL9350 Page Mode Memory Controller (80386DX)

Later updates were:
SL9251   Page Interleave Memory Controller (80386SX)
SL9351   Page Interleave Memory Controller (80386DX)

Further updates were:
SL9252   System and Memory Controller (80386SX)
SL9352   System and Memory Controller (80386DX)

As far  as i can  tell, these chips  only require the addition  of the
SL9020, or  2x in  the case  of the SL9352.  The datasheets  are quite
terse.

These parts and the whole design of the datasheets are very similar to
the chipsets released by Logicstar. I, however, cannot find any record
of a link between the companies. See *Logicstar for details.

***Info:
VIA’s  System and  Memory Controller  SL9352,  has the  logic for  the
System Control, Memory Control, Data  Control and chip select for some
of  the  peripherals  used  in  an  AT system.  The  device  is  fully
configurable via software. No  external hardware jumpers are needed to
utilize its features.  Default values are provided to  boot any system
configuration. On reset, BIOS routines are used to program the device,
transparent to the user, to utilize its special features.

Four configuration  registers in the System Control  Logic control the
AT bus and peripheral bus operations. Synchronous and asynchronous bus
operations are  supported. In synchronous  mode, bus clock  is derived
from the processor's CLK2. In asynchronous mode, it is derived from an
independent external bus clock pin.

Support for page mode  and non-page mode operation with non-interleave
or word /multi-page interleave, along with programmable memory timing,
allow the  system designer to  get maximum performance for  the chosen
DRAMs. High  drive for RAS, CAS,  memory address, and  write lines are
provided  to connect  SL9352 directly  to  a large  DRAM memory  array
without  external buffering.  In addition,  CAS for  all the  banks in
non-interleave and  2-way interleave  are provided to  reduce external
gates.

Shadowing  features are  supported  in 16K  granularity  from 640K  to
1M. Remap  options allow shadowing of eight  different combinations of
tap of memory, Local ROM, and Video ROM to 640K to 1M region.

VlA's System  and Memory Controller, SL9352,  can be used  with two of
VIA's  SL9020   Data  Controllers,   or  with  discrete   latches  and
buffers. Data direction and enable signals for the data controller are
provided for both modes of operation.

SL9352  provides  decoding  for  the  Real  Time  Clock  and  Keyboard
Controller, thus avoiding external decoding gates. In addition, Port B
logic, PS/Z Compatible Port 92 for fast reset, and A20GATE provide the
necessary logic support for a one-chip solution.
