- Georg, you seem to have another definition of 'reliable', especially
- in generalizations. :-) It is definitely not reliable to run 16MHz
- parts at 25MHz.

- This can however be true.

-
- A 16MHz 68030 is one that failed the 25MHz test (or it can be something
- completely different). Wether it works depends on your personal luck,
- global weather situation and the phase of the moon. :-)
