About the Chipdir

How the chip list is organized

For each chip is given:

• The chip number without letters
• The full chip name with letters
• A short chip description
• An alphabetically sorted list of manufacturers (between brackets),with the original manufacturer having an asterisk ('*'), if he is known:The data books are generally very mysterious about this.
  

• '=1234' which means that the chip is (almost) equal to the 1234
• '=1234+' which means that the chip is an upgrade of the 1234
• '=1234-' which means that the chip is a downgrade of the 1234
• '=1234*8' which means that the package contains 4 identical 1234's

• FAQ
• include files (for C or assembler)
• instruction set
• internal register description
• mailing list server
• manufacturer WWW-page for this chip or family of chips
• news group
• pin-layout
• standard microprocessor reference card

Beware: There may be multiple entries for some chips. Some chip-numbers can also have two different names and meanings. The two lines which describe the same chip-type may not always be adjacent!
