**What's not included:
All information included in this file can be referenced to some
document or picture. Or at least should be:-) As a result of this,
proprietary chip sets, and odd combinations of different chip sets are
not usually included. There tends to be scant information on
proprietary chip sets, i.e. no datasheet. Similarly chip sets built
using some components from one manufacture and some from another are
kind of difficult to deal with.
An example I know of is a 25 MHz 386 DX motherboard that uses the
Intel N82230/N82231 (formerly, ZyMOS) 286 chip set, with an AUStek
cache Controller. I know it existed but there is no documentation.
So the best I can say you'll have to take my word that it existed. I
can't include it because there is no real information there.
Also not included is anything that isn't a PC-compatible chip
set. I.e. no Macintosh info. Any Information on PC-incompatibles/
pseudo-compatibles, and other weirdi-type stuff I have a particular
interest in. See the section: 'Info needed on'. Some information on
video chip sets is included, occasionally but the focus is on
motherboard implementation.
