**Spelling errors/mistyped words
Yes, I know there are spelling errors, and things are mistyped. It
seems no matter how hard I try my fingers hit 't' twice when typing
'compatible' rendering it 'compattible' numerous, (thousands actually)
times. I don't have the time or the will to check the spelling of
everything. Basic spell checking has been peformed. Please let me know
if there is anything that would lead to incorrect information, or
something is so mangled that it needs revising. But if you can
basically understand what was intended, just cope with it. Just
cope:-)
BTW, "110" port is an "I/O" port that has been OCRed badly, as is an
"1/0" port.

**SL9252 80386SX System and Memory Controller <06/12/90
***Info:
VIA’s System and Memory Controller SL9252, 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 SL9252 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
top of memory, Local ROM, and Video ROM to 64oK to 1M region.
VIA's System and Memory Controller, SL9252, can be used with VIA's
SL9020 Data Controller, or with discrete latches and buffers. Data
direction and enable signals for the data controller are provided for
both modes of operation.
SL9252 provides decoding for the Real Time Clock and Keyboard
Controller, thus avoiding external decoding gates. In addition, Port B
logic, PS/2 Compatible Port 92 for fast reset, and A20GATE provide the
necessary logic support for a one-chip solution.
