The original Indigo (R3000-based) used a different chip set from
the Indigo R4000, Indy, and Indigo2, which shared a common memory controller.
The latter machines use vary a bit in the details of their peripheral
chips, the parts are mostly either the same or different mainly in being
later revisions in some of the systems. The Indigo2 added EISA bus support
(along with GIO).
