- Your 14MHz 68000 is sampling -DTACK earlier than the original 7MHz
- 68000. Both processors are running with zero wait-states. However,
- zero wait-states with the faster processor is too quick for valid data
- to be generated by the memory.
-
- Also your 14MHz 68000 is sometimes generating -AS and -DS on the wrong
- 7MHz clock phase.

- Same as below, probably, where the CIA timing is throwing off the
- timing of the device driver. May also include some of the above
- problems where the bus is running to fast.

-
- The 6800 bus is generated by the 68000 for compatability with older
- peripheral chips. In the Amiga, this means the CIAs. Your faster 68000
- is generating incorrect E-clock timing, throwing off the timing of the
- CIAs.

- There may be other problems, but these are the ones I know. Possibly,
- your modifications to the clock distribution are causing signal quality
- problems.
