Oh ... I could buy another P133 and install it on my Tyan Tomcat IIID, but
this seems to be useful only for those who have this HW, so we can not
write some kind of autodetection.
I ask myself why NMI exist (and while we are at it APM too), if the specs
followed are not unified and there is no way to autodetect the behaviour
of the chipset. Bah.
