Thanks for the driver. I use it often in my retro PCs.
Yesterday I tried using the latest K6init driver to enable WA on a K5 PR166 processor, but it caused problems. Also, according to the WAMO utility, WA technology still didn't work. See the pictures.

Motherboard: GA-586SG (Sis5591) BIOS ver. 1.15.
Video card: Nvidia Riva TNT 16MB PCI, Detonator 2.08 driver.
I also tried it with an ATI Rage 128Gl 16MB AGP video card, but after booting, I only see a black screen. The driver version is Rage128-4.12.6282-win9x_6338cd20.
Everything works fine without use K6init.
This motherboard can automatically enable WA for the K5 processor, but only if the multiplier is set to x1.75.
I really want K6init to work correctly with K5 processors!

If you need help testing the driver, I'm happy to help. Thank you!

Please use K6INIT_D exe to produce some debug output to se if the correct bits are being written...

Thanks!

I also tried enabling WA by replacing the graphics card with a S3 TRIO64/V2 2MB. The color inversion issue is gone, but WA mode still wouldn't activate.
