(as well of course being able to determain that your > chip is a 6x86 and not at 486 :-) ) One i know is Koen Gadeyne's set6x86 ... it allows you to modify 6x86's configuration registers (see page 2-24 of 6x86 databook - one of them turns on an automatic standby mode which is *very* useful). You can find it on tsx-11.mit.edu /pub/linux/sources/sbin/set6x86-1.2.tar.gz
