Overview
This document describes the OPTi 82C814 Docking Station
Controller, a true bridge docking solution that allows software
to treat the docking station like a dynamically insertable/
removable CardBus card. 
The PCI software interface conforms to the CardBus header
layout, instead of the PCI-to-PCI bridge header layout, to
overcome the limitations of PCI-to-PCI bridges.
The docking controller implements a true PCI-PCI bridge with
full buffering and synchronous or asynchronous operation.
Figure 2-1 illustrates the flexibility of the device, including its
ability to support multiple ISA buses when used with an OPTi
PCI-to-ISA Bridge.
