Don't know; don't have a newer K6 currently to play with. Although I
probably should upgrade...this system, cool when I bought it, kinda
sucks these days. :)

At any rate, I haven't noticed any K6-related problems (the big symptom
according to the websites on the topic are random GCC crashes.) I doubt
the K6 bug would be causing misbehavior on the IDE bus....
