Please have a look at my posting from Thu, 23 Mar 2006, subject
"Re: ImageDisk / PC FDCs & single-density".

Arranged into your format, this would be:

                                  Data rate
                                 250 300 500
Manufacturer    FDC chip        SDX SDX SDX
-------------------------------------------
Acer		M5105		PPP NPN PPN
Intel		i82072		PPF NPF PPF
Intel		i82077		FPF FPF FPF
Nat.Semi.	DP8473		PPP NPN PPN
SMC		Super I/O	PPF NPF PPF
WD		WD37C65		PPF NPF PPF
Winbond		W83757		FPF FPF FPF

As these were mostly add-on ISA cards (what else ;-) there are no 
mainboard manufacturers and models, and no CPU class; the same card worked 
in different class PCs (testet with 80386SX-20, P5/60 and P5/100 systems).
