- That might not be the correct crystal! The one you want is socketed,
- located among the CPU chipset. It should be labeled WE32102, 20MHZ & 10MHz.
- The 20MHZ clock from this osc. is never used, it is divided internally to
- produce a pair of 10MHz clocks with are 90 degrees out of phase. I am currently
- investigating sources for an identical osciallator at a higher freq (13 or 14).
- I'll let y'all know what I find.
