- |Also the 50Mhz version from microbotics has a different PAL set designed

- Actually, a Microbotics tech told me you can get by without the Pal
- change if you disable burst. He also said that overclocking the cpu will
- "probably" work, but they will not guareentee it. I was told that if
- you disable burst, you might just be able to run a 60 Mhz in an A2000, but
- in an A500 the air flow may give you heat problems. He also said that
- in some tests, an overdriven 68030 was faster with burst off. Of course,
- none of the conversation was "official support" for overdriving a VXL.
