Im planning to get a C6 to play with some Linux optimisations for it. So
if there are some less humerous thoughts behind that comment let me know
even if in private...

The Centaur preliminary databook explicitly lists the TSC bug (and gives
the div by 0 in Linux as the known problem they cause). It states it is
fixed/will be fixed in stepping 1. No workaround is provided in the datasheet
I have. Its available from in PDF from www.winchip.com
