**Why this document is not GPL or a wiki
The document is copyright, it is NOT GPL'ed text. While the GPL is a
fantastic idea, I have chosen not to make this freely copied and
modified. The reasons are as follows:
1. GPL text tends to be copied...EVERYWHERE. For example, if you look
up a subject on wikipedia, then try to get more information, or a
different perspective on say about.com. There you find the EXACT
SAME TEXT. This is what mirrors are for. It's an unintended
consequence, but it can lead to misinformation being spread
everywhere. A bigger problem.
2. There seems to be fewer and fewer informative websites. It used to
be that if you searched for something you would find a website
about a particular subject. Now you tend to find the encyclopedia
and often nothing else (well quickly).
In addition the majority of this text is quotes.
The wiki concept is a good idea, but they have problems. Because no
one "owns" the work they seem to go to two extremes. Either no one
maintains them, or there are edit wars. Also anyone can edit them.

**SL9XXX FlexSet family General information
The SL9XXX series seems to have been designed to work with the 80286,
80386SX and 80386DX, and is possibly compatible with the 80486. What-
ever CPU used, the chipset contains the following chips, known as the
"Core AT Logic chips":
SL9011 System Controller
SL9020 Data Controller (2x for 32bit 386DX)
SL9025 Address Controller
SL9030 Integrated Peripheral Controller
The memory controller is then selected based on the CPU. It appears
that the lineup originally consisted of the following chips, known as
"Personalized AT Logic":
SL9151 Page Interleave Memory (80286)
SL9250 Memory Controller (80386SX)
SL9350 Page Mode Memory Controller (80386DX)
Later updates were:
SL9251 Page Interleave Memory Controller (80386SX)
SL9351 Page Interleave Memory Controller (80386DX)
Further updates were:
SL9252 System and Memory Controller (80386SX)
SL9352 System and Memory Controller (80386DX)
As far as i can tell, these chips only require the addition of the
SL9020, or 2x in the case of the SL9352. The datasheets are quite
terse.
These parts and the whole design of the datasheets are very similar to
the chipsets released by Logicstar. I, however, cannot find any record
of a link between the companies. See *Logicstar for details.
