PC Chipset Chips: The following are the ID numbers for the various chip circuits in a PC. (In the old days, these chips were all placed separately on the motherboard. Nowadays, however, they are usually integrated into one or two larger chips. However, even if they are all mounted in a single chip, that chip is still referred to as the "chipset".) Keyboard Controller: 8041 (PC/XT) or 8042 (AT) DMA Controller: 8237 PIT (Programmable Interval Timer): 8253 (PC/XT) or 8254 (AT) Programmable Peripheral Interface: 8255 PIC (Programmable Interrupt Controller): 8259 Floppy Drive Controller: 8272 Clock Generator: 8284 Bus Controller: 8288 CMOS Real-Time Clock: MC146818 UART (Serial Port) Controller: 8250, 8251, 16450, 16550, or 16550A
