Don't touch the Motorola 56xxx DSP, then. There are several "insane instructions" that will smoke the device (programming a pin for both input and output at the same time). There are many other chips, often used on Motherboards, that have programmable pins (even the AMD SC520)... These can be destroyed by software.
Also, the bits for setting the power supply voltages to be applied to your CPU are available in I/O space on many motherboards. Try your 2.5 volt CPU on 5.0 volts. It will melt the solder that holds the socket to the board!
