   Both.   
      
   VL-bus is essentially the 32-bit 486 CPU bus wired to a connector (this   
   is of course far from ideal from signal integrity point of view, hence   
   the limitation to 3 or less slots).   
      
   Similarly The 56/57 SCSI chips are also directly connected to the 16-bit   
   386SX (486SLC) bus.
