	I few weeks ago, I posted that I was having trouble with
my new K6/200 machine. In the end the vendor swapped a Pentium/200
for it and all was happy.  But I really wanted a K6 so I did some
research and found that AMD had tested with the FIC PA-2011.  I now
have a K6/200 in a PA-2011 (VIA VP-2) and it is running quite well.
I have only been running for a couple days now so I am still waiting
to see if I will hit the 2 week problem.  I'll post again with more
results after I have done more testing.
