***Overview (History):
The original chipsets used by IBM for the PC and XT are based on the
Intel iAPX 88 system. Some additional components are taken from the
MCS-80/85 system. The iAPX 88 system consists of the 8088 CPU and
support chips. It is a modification of the iAPX 86 system (8086 CPU),
with the iAPX 86 having a 16-bit external bus, and the iAPX 88 having
an 8-bit external bus. The iAPX 86 system was formerly known as the
MCS-86 system.
The chips used in Both the PC/XT and the AT were introduced by Intel
at various different times over approximately a decade between 1975
and 1984. In addition there are various different revisions of a
particular chip. Due to these differences, relying on a datasheet from
a particular year alone, is insufficient. So for a particular chip,
differences between the datasheets are noted. This information can be
found in the ****Notes section of each chip. The information from the
datasheets, quoted in this document, is not the complete datasheet.
The actual datasheet contains more information. This is done for
brevity.
Also included is information about forerunners of chips used by the
IBM systems. For example, the 8255 (forerunner to the 8255A) has been
included. At a bit more of a stretch, the 8257 (essentially a
forerunner to the 8237) has also been included.
