     I spoke to a field engineer at work today about your problem. 
It seems the Cyrix 686's run at a significantly higher speed than other 
processors, and will also accept non-sequential instructions. This seems to 
drive FOSSIL's crazy. His recommendation is to try either DigiFoss or BNU, as 
X00 and the Cyrix 686's seem to not like each other a whole bunch.
 
     BNU is fairly common, but I've never heard of DigiFoss. Hope 
this helps!
