The chip is marked thus:
----
S3 (r) 86C260
On Board (tm)
N6A01B
86C260-1B
9747 C29215.00
KOREA

With a big M5 sticker on it. The documnetation says M5, and the m5.exe
utility from ftp.clevo.com.tw says m5 (not m5+), so I think it's just an
M5.
If I said before that it's an M5+, my apologies, I appear to have been
