The source code to a UNIX SVR3/SVR4 device driver for the Cyrix
Cx486DLC/SLC CPU internal cache has been posted to the alt.sources
newsgroup.  A brief description:


UNIX(tm) System V/386 software to control the Cyrix(tm)
Cx486DLC/SLC CPU internal cache

by Ti Kan
-------------------------------------------------------------------

INTRODUCTION

This package includes all the source code components of the
following:
1. A device driver (cx) for UNIX SVR3.2 and SVR4 for detecting a
   Cyrix Cx486DLC or Cx486SLC microprocessor, and enabling/disabling
   the on-chip internal cache memory, as well as configuring
   the cache-control option registers.
2. A utility (cxctl) that allows a super-user to change the Cyrix
   Cx486DLC/SLC microprocessor internal cache configuration
   "on-the-fly".

I have compiled and tested this package on the following platforms:

USL UNIX System V/386 Release 4.2 (Destiny) version 1
SCO UNIX System V/386 Release 3.2 version 2.0
SCO UNIX System V/386 Release 3.2 version 4.0

Since this software was specifically written to be portable, I
believe that it will compile and function correctly under other
UNIX System V/386 environments, such as ISC SVR3.2/SVR4, Dell SVR4,
etc.  If you have successfully build and used this software on a
platform not listed above please inform me so that I can add to
the list.  If you have to make modifications to make it run on
a particular platform I would appreciate if you can send me the
changes so I can incorporate it into a future release.

This software can be loaded on a non-Cyrix 386/486 system and it
should have no adverse effects (See below).


BINARY DISTRIBUTION

Binaries for SCO UNIX 3.2v2/3.2v4, as well as all current
flavors of SVR4.2 (USL, Consensys, Univel UnixWare) are available
for download at File Area 3 on the Bazooka BBS.  This source
distribution, as well as an MS-DOS driver for the Cyrix Cx486DLC/SLC
CPU are also available on Bazooka BBS.

Bazooka BBS:
+1 408 736 0118 (Hayes V-Series Ultra V.32/V.32bis/V.42/V.42bis)
+1 408 736 3071 (Telebit Worldblazer TPEP/PEP/V.32/V.32bis/V.42/V.42bis)

Log in as "bbs".  You will have access to the File Area 3 on your
first call.  If you only need to download the Cyrix driver files
and have no intention of otherwise using Bazooka BBS again, please
leave a note to the Sysop stating so when logging out.
