Well the 16550 is basically a DZV-11, DHV11, that will get you a
bunch of lines good to 38kb
FDC for the mix if 3.5 or 5.25 is RQDX3, late rom.
5.25 is rx50(400k) and rx33(1.2m)
3.5 is rx23(1.44m) and rx24(720k)
8" is RX02/RX12. 256k/512k with 256k standard sssd 8"
media and formatting.
> ISA Bridge
Why bother.
Now if you wanted that all on a 8x9" board then I'd perk up my years.
