- Not that I know of, though it ought to work for similar reasons to those
- that justify doing this to a IIsi - and you have the added bonus of
- being able to replace the CPU with a faster model, and *all* of the memory
- with faster units (the IIsi has 1Mbyte soldered in, 80ns in my board).
-
- Oh yeah - a faster FPU may be needed too, though going to 28 or 30Mhz
- should be possible.
-
- Caveat emptor as they say - though my machine has been running extremely
- reliably at 25 for some months... (a IIsi). I tried 32Mhz, but with no
- luck... could be anything: RAM, ROM, custom chips, etc etc...
-
- Please read the IIsi FAQ carefully before trying any of this (well done to
- its composer, and a suggestion: post it once a week for a little while??)
