I remember my dad's Dell 486P/33 from 1991 had integrated IDE, but that was a fairly high-end machine at the time (the forerunner of their "Precision" workstation range).
Wow! Very impressive board, I had no idea. It's kinda cool how we can directly see some of the chips that would be on the SuperIO card but directly on the mainboard. Thanks for sharing.

But, yes, most bog standard machines would've had a separate "SuperIO" card containing serial, parallel, and IDE interfaces until the mid 90s.
