An utility to enable the read/write combining code in the AMD K6 processor.

BASEDEV=K6.SYS

One needs to get the documentation for the K6 chip and discover the correct formula for the value to use for the video register. The authors suggested value doesn't work in most cases.

Parameters
/V
Show screen output
/w????????
Enable first write-combine region using given hex value
/W????????
Enable second write-combine region using given hex value
Example
BASEDEV=K6.SYS /V /w??01FE02

where ?? is the leading two hex digits of the video memory's physical address.

TIP: See also WACKER.SYS which is recommended by users.
