- Interesting....Sounds like we need to design some variable speed "clips"
- like the Macintosh community uses. The way I understand it they have clips
- which fit on the Clock crystal which then allows them to dial in the
- frequency they want. If they experience problems at 66 they can dial down
- to say 64 MHZ.
