I cannot recommend anything because I'm not aware of any special functions that these CPUs have, but I may be wrong?

Wow, thank you!!!

Question: can K6INIT also help to speed up a K6-3 / 400 on Win98SE?

Currently I am experimenting with K6-3/400, V1 and Q2.

DOS:K6-3/400,192MB,P5A,Rendition v2200 AGP,Trio64 PCI,3dfx V1,AWE64,ESS1938,PicoGUS,32GB
w98SE:P3/450,768MB,QDI440BX,V3AGP,AWE64,PicoGUS,80GB
wXP:P3/1G,512MB,CUSL2-C,MSIFX5600,Audigy1,80GB

Sure. You may include it in your autoexec.bat

Hi.

Here's a test version that enables basic functionality on pre-CXT K6-2 and K6 CPUs . Let me know if it works for you, so I can make an official release.

The _D executable is a debug version.

Thank you, Eric.

I just tested it.

It changes text colour to green when output is redirected to a text file with ">"

K6-2 (non-CXT) hangs
K6 does not hang (oops, red MTRR < Not supported by CPU > not seen on picture due to blinking)

Ah. I see the problem. There is a distinction in models for the K6-2 where early ones also follow the K6 layout for the WHCR register. I will post a patch soon.

Hello, please find here v1.4b which hopefully fixes this freezing issue:

<outdated>

EDIT: Hang on, the freezing issue seems to be unrelated. Stand by

EDIT2: Please test the attached version again
