**82430LX     PCIset (Pentium) LX (Mercury) (82433LX/82434LX) 03/22/93
***Notes:...
***Info:...
***Configurations:
Parts:
Intel 82434LX (PCMC) PCI/CACHE/MEMORY CONTROLLER
Intel 82433LX (LBX)  LOCAL BUS ACCELERATOR

ISA:	
82434LX + 2x 82433LX + 82378IB   
82434LX + 2x 82433LX + 82378ZB 

  The main difference between the 82378IB and 82378ZB is the number of
  PCI masters supported. See the 82378 section for details.

EISA: 
Intel 82434LX + 2x 82433LX + 82374EB + 82375EB 
Intel 82434LX + 2x 82433LX + 82374SB + 82375SB

  The main  difference between the EB  and SB variants is  that the SB
  includes  power  management  options.  It was  released  later  when
  various  enhancements had  been made  to  the EB  variant.  See  the
  82374/82375 section  for details. It  is unlikely the SB  variant is
  paired with this chipset as it was released when the 430LX was being
  replaced with the 430NX.

These chipsets  are often paired with  the SMC 665 for  I/O support or
the NCR 810 for SCSI.
 

Why this section is so detailed:

Any chips  manufactured before Jan  94 have serious problems  with the
PCI/EISA bridge's throughput. The problem affects the ISA version too,
but is less pronounced.

Two references from November'93 give  some inportant detail that seems
to be missed in the datasheets. It  would appear there is an update to
the  82374/82375EB  EISA  components  in   late  '93,  that  has  some
significant  changes.  these  are  not  reflected  in  the  datasheets
referenced.

It would  appear the mentioned  redesign, maps  well to the  update of
82378  ISA  component from  the  82378IB  to  the 82378ZB.  Though  no
information specifically stating this has  been found. It is only that
these are in the same time period.
