Hi,

thanks for comments.

	Unfortunately (or vice versa? ;)  I have no access to the
	box' internals, I'm not authorized to open the case
	and look inside. But: the box is "genuine Intel",
	the model is Magellan W/15", base board (kinda of
	backplane) is XXpress 15" Rel 2, with 1 P166 CPU module.

	I'll try to find what the bridge chip is.

	But what is the chance that _both_ AIC chips are "on the
	other side of the bridge", anyway?

	Yep, I got the idea.
