You are incorrect. The 586B is the southbridge which incorporates the ATA
controller, PCI-ISA bridge, ACPI interface, and various other functions. The
original 82c586 was part of the non-Super 7 VP3 chipset that was the first
Socket7 AGP. The 82c586A was a laeter revision of the southbridge, and the
82c586B is the latest and it's been around for awhile. The notation 82C586x
denotes x as a dynamic variable, which can exist or not, and can be whatever.
The featureset of the original 586 is very close to that of the newest 586B.
