I am looking for documentation concerning this 386 chipset. About the only thing I know is that is has an integrated 8KB L1 cache in the chipset. I have been unable to find any datasheets or documentation anywhere.
I can't find anything on Google. 386 chipsets are usually very poorly documented nowadays.
See my graphics card database at www.gpuzoo.com
Constantly being worked on. Feel free to message me with any corrections or details of cards you would like me to research and add.

Thanks for doing some checking as well.
386 datasheets were never that easy to find.
However, unlike many other chipset manufacturers, Macronix is still around. Have you tried asking them?

I have been to their website and went on archive.org to check older versions of the website. I have not been able to find anything that way. I have not directly reached out to them. I will look into that.
Searching for older versions of the website would probably be fruitless, because the archives only go back to 1996, and I think Macronix got out of the chipset business a few years before that.

I just did a general inquiry on their website to see if they have anything. It's a long shot, but worth at least asking.
Macronix was nice enough to get back to me, but as I anticipated, they do not have info on the chipset anymore:(
