Chipset parts: IBM 72X7377 (DMA) IBM 72X7385 (Bus controller) IBM 72X8299 (I/O controller) IBM 72X8287ESD IBM 15F7917 Intel 8042AH (Keyboard Controller)
Overview
Found on the model 50 and 60. The model 60 includes an additional chip (72X8287ESD). It supports 10MHz operation. It is very similar to the Model 80 T1-T2 chipset. There the 72X7385 (Bus controller) has been replaced with discrete logic and 2x 8259A-2 (Programmable Interrupt Controllers). Speculation: the 72X7385 contains two 8259A-2s.
72X7377 DMA:
No datasheet exists for this chip. Also sometimes labeled 72X7377ESD.
72X7385 Bus controller:
No datasheet exists for this chip.
72X8299 I/O controller:
No datasheet exists for this chip.
72X8287ESD:
No datasheet exists for this chip. It is only found on the PS/2 Model 60. It is absent on the model 50.
It likely has something to do with the additional MCA slots. However this is just conjecture. (mR_Slug)
15F7917
No datasheet exists for this chip. It is only found in the P75 motherboard. It is manufactured by OKI and is likely a gate array programmed at the factory by IBM.
Intel 8042AH Keyboard Controller:
mR_Slug notes:
This is the Intel UPI-42 (Universal Peripheral Interface 8042AH) programed as a keyboard controller and additional functions. It was released around '87. The 8042AH is a ROM mask (programmed at the factory). It is pin compatible with the 8042 and EPROM based 8742AH.
An 8042AH will NOT function as a keyboard controller UNLESS it is programed to do so. Programs can differ between 8042AH's. In this application, for FULL OPERATION in a motherboard the program MUST be correct. Typically, swapping an 8042AH from a PC to another, will often provide a functional keyboard, the additional functions may not work. It may be labeled as 'Keyboard BIOS'. Using an 8042AH programmed for some other (non-PC) application will NOT work.
Intel 8042AH Universal Peripheral Interface:
The Intel UPI-42 is a general-purpose Universal Peripheral Interfaces that allow the designer to develop customized solutions for peripheral device control.
They are essentially "slave" microcontrollers, or microcontrollers with a slave interface included on the chip. Interface registers are included to enable the UPI device to function as a slave peripheral controller in the MCS Modules and iAPX family, as well as other 8-, 16-bit systems.
To allow full user flexibility, the program memory is available in ROM, One-Time Programmable EPROM (OTP) and UV-erasable EPROM. All UPI-42 devices are fully pin compatible for easy transition from prototype to production level designs, These are the memory configurations available.
