Is that the TS specific extra TS7260 power control stuff? Isn't it in the
TS documentation?

I've written a program, cctl, which can do quite a bit to control power
usage etc that should work for the 7260 - I've only tested on the 7200.
It can be downloaded from my ts7200 page. It allows any setting for the
various clock frequencies on the processor chip etc. Actually I thought TS
had put the CPU changing stuff into a shell they distribute with the cards
nowadays?

cheers
