**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.
