I've just gotten a 486 and in looking at the values in the extended CMOS setup
I'm not quite sure what some of them are.  I hope some kind and knowledgeable
soul out there will enlighten me as to what they mean and what values they
should typically have for a 25 MHz 486 motherboard.  The documentation I got
with the machine mentions what some of the settings should be but not what
is actually being set.

So here are the ones I haven't been able to figure out.

Scratch RAM option:  1 or 0
Relocate option:     Enabled or Disabled
CPU Clock:	     CLKIN or ICLK
ICLK:		     CLKIN/3 or CLKIN/4
ATCLK stretch:	     Enabled or Disabled
Fast Gate A20:	     Enabled or Disabled
Cache Range:	     "16 M Cacheable area" is the default value

Thanks!
