2 System Board
| PCI/ISA Bridge Chip (82371SB) |
| This chip is encapsulated in a 208 pin plastic quad flat pack (PQFP) |
| package. |
PCI Bus Interface | This part of the chip performs |
| translation. It supports the |
ISA Bus Interface | As well as accepting cycles from the PCI bus interface, and translating them |
| for the ISA bus, the ISA bus interface also requests the PCI master bridge to |
| generate PCI cycles on behalf of a DMA or ISA master. The ISA bus interface |
| contains a standard ISA bus controller and data buffering logic. It can directly |
| support six ISA slots without external data or address buffering. |
IDE Controller | The PCI master/slave IDE controller, supporting four devices, two on each of |
| two channels, is described on page 34. |
USB Controller | The PCI USB controller, supporting two connectors, is described on page 36. |
DMA Controller | The seven channel DMA controller incorporates the functionality of two |
| 82C37 DMA controllers. Channels 0 to 3 are for |
| channels 5 to 7 are for |
| programmed for any of the four transfer modes: the three active modes |
| (single, demand, block), can perform three different types of transfer: read, |
| write and verify. The address generation circuitry can only support a |
| address for DMA devices. |
Interrupt Controller | The sixteen channel interrupt controller incorporates the functionality of |
| two 82C59 interrupt controllers. The two controllers are cascaded, giving 14 |
| external and two internal interrupt sources (see page 82). |
Counter / Timer | The chip contains a |
| division of the 14.31818 MHz OSC input as the clock source. |
