The 53c700 wasn't really usable for a 680x0 architecture machine
(and had some other serious problems for us). We used the 53c710 in the
A4000T (A4000 tower) and A4091 Zorro-III card.
Are there docs on the differences, or at least on-line or available
docs on the 53c8xx chips? Weren't the x810's 710's with built-in PCI
bus support?
