Actual Entry (non editable)
386 motherboard using a OPTi 82C495SLC chipset (c) 199? Unknown The 82C495SLC chipset was a popular solution for motherboard manufacturers who wanted to offer a "future-proof" product. Because it supported a wide range of CPUs—including the Intel 386DX, Ti486DLC, and even 5V 486DX processors—it allowed users to upgrade their systems significantly without replacing the entire motherboard. Chipset Architecture: It served as the system controller that managed memory, cache, and bus signals. It is often paired with the 82C392 (Data Buffer) and 82C206 (Integrated Peripheral Controller). Hybrid Compatibility: Boards using this chipset are often found as "386/486 hybrid" systems. They frequently feature a socket designed for a 386DX but are wired to accept 486-style "DLC" or "SLC" upgrade chips, which allowed a 386 system to gain some 486-like features (such as L1 cache). VLB Support: A hallmark of the 495SLC chipset was its support for the VESA Local Bus (VLB). This allowed high-speed graphics and IDE controllers to communicate directly with the CPU, providing a massive performance boost over standard ISA-only 386 systems. - TRIVIA - The "DLC" Connection: Many 495SLC boards were famously sold bundled with the Texas Instruments (TI) 486DLC processor. This CPU acted as a "bridge" chip: it was physically compatible with 386 sockets but included 486 instruction sets and internal cache, effectively giving 386 owners a "486-lite" experience. Jumper Complexity: These boards are notoriously "jumper-heavy." Because the chipset supported so many different CPU types, the jumper settings for voltage (usually fixed at 5V), clock multipliers, and wait-states are essential to get right. If you are configuring a board like this, you will often find yourself needing to manually set the cache bank interleaving in the BIOS to reach stable performance. - SOURCES - Machine's Bios.
