6263 bytes mostly documentation.

Unpackage to a floppy disk, and copy one (or all - about 3K total) of these tiny files (pick the one that matches your CPU type such as AMD K7) to the free space on a BL #2 boot disk. (Steven has provided lots of extra space in BL3.50). Boot to linux, do NOT mount any file systems, and then from the floppy disk run burnK7, for example, to try to crash your system. It stresses the cpu and board and preserves errors - code 254 for integer/memory error and 255 for FP/MMX error. There are also two RAM testers included.

Intel burnP5 burnP6
AMD burnK6 burnK7

Someone asked us to try to fix a K7 system that 'hangs' and we would like to make it crash without adding XP first.

Billed as the cpu equivalent of memtest, but this was compiled to be run from a linux root/boot disk. It passed memtest and the PSU voltages are correct. We have a spare CPU.
