I use it for a SGI-specific chip with no docs at all.) -- Base I/O -- HEART memory controller, Xtalk bridge IOC3 multi-I/O RAD1 audio BRIDGE Xtalk-PCI bridge? -- Frontplane -- XBOW Xtalk router -- PCI card cage (correct this) -- BRIDGE Xtalk-PCI bridge -- MardiGras (this is one big mystery) -- HQ4 Xtalk bridge GE11 geometry engine RE4 raster engine PP1 ? VC3 video controller? CMAP colormap? I'm writing this from memory, so correct me please. Stanislaw Skowronek
