There's no need for links to chipcatalog.com. As I said in the previous
review, we have search engines for finding datasheets. Besides, the old
links are in the web archive (complete with PDFs) so there's no need to
remove them.

Comments are supposed to be human readable text. Square brackets don't
quote filenames by any convention I'm aware of (?)
I'd suggest:
A good document that describes the PCI interface chip is 9080db-106.pdf
available from http://www.plxtech.com/products/io/pci9080

The old link is in the web archive, you needn't remove it. Add the new one
if you wish.

This appears to have been fat-fingered. No patch needed.
