|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| DP8534-V | National Semiconductor | Second-generation 68040 Macs (Quadra and Centris 610/650/800) | Low | I was able to reverse-engineer enough of this chip from a Linux driver to create a usable emulation (thanks smf!) but some details are still unclear. | |
| F8680 PC/CHIP | Chips and Technologies | Cablenet 2039 Controller | Low | Enhanced 8086 CPU with PC-like on-chip peripherals and one or two custom instructions. Some documentation is online, but Programmer's Reference Manual (UG75) is missing. | |
