Looking at the actual chip would still be useful sometimes, for instance
to spot datasheet ID/rev errors (e.g. when the chip says it's a
different chip than what the IDs tell you).

As for datasheets:

http://www.ite.com.tw/product_info/PC/pc_product_info_2.asp
http://www.winbond.com/hq/enu/ProductAndSales/ProductLines/ComputerLogicIC/
http://www.winbond.com/hq/enu/ProductAndSales/ProductReference/EOLProducts/
http://www.smsc.com/main/datasheet.html
ftp://ftp.smsc.com/pub/datasheets/
ftp://ftp.smsc.com/pub/discontinued/
http://www.fintek.com.tw/eng/products.asp?BID=1&SID=17&layer=0

Probably lots more which I missed right now (just google for the Super I/O
name, that should find you datasheets for almost all of them).
Hm, maybe we should add a "Datasheets" wiki page with links?


Uwe.
