30 SERR# (MCLKOUT) OD System Error. Used to report system errors where the result
will be catastrophic (address parity error, data parity errors
for Special Cycle commands, etc.). This output is actively
driven for a single PCI clock cycle synchronous to CLK and
meets the same setup and hold time requirements as all
other bused signals. SERR# is not driven high by the chip
after being asserted, but is pulled high only by a weak pull-up
provided by the system. Thus, SERR# on the PCI Bus may
take two or three clock periods to fully return to an inactive
state.

BlOS ROM Address Outputs. See MAD8-15 (pins 170-177)
for BIOS ROM data inputs.
BIOS ROMs are not normally required in portable computer
designs (Graphics System BIOS code is normally included in
the System BIOS ROM). However, the 65550 provides BIOS
ROM interface capability for development systems and add-in
card Flat Panel Graphics Controllers.
Since the PCI Bus specifications require only one load on the
bus for the entire graphics subsystem, the BlOS ROM
interface is through the chip. In the VL-Bus mode. the BIOS
ROM interface can be an external circuit on the ISA Bus
connector that does not require pins on the chip.

199 Reserved In This pin is always an input (A20 for VL-Bus, reserved for
future use on PCI Bus). To avoid abnormal Vcc current due
to a floating input for a PCI Bus, use a 10K resistor to ground
to pull this pin low..
28 Reserved In This pin is always an input (A23 for VL-Bus, reserved for
future use on PCI Bus). To avoid abnormal Vcc current due
to a floating input for a PCI Bus, use a l0K resistor to ground
to pull this pin low.
