It's 21164A and up, i.e. those 21164 in the upper half of the MHz range
(333 and up?).  They're used on PC164 and PC164LX, while
other boxes (the AS200?  Not sure, at least the NT-only XL) use
a plain 21164 without BWX.  21164 = ev5, 21164A = ev56.
I think the 21164PC is also a ev56 with BWX, as it's roughly the
same age and MHz range.
