- The last poster was right about the parts might be unreliable at higher
- clock speeds. I have a 20MHz 68881 (clocked separatly from CPU) in my
- Lucas acceleartor. It runs fine at 24MHz. At 32MHz, some (a few) of
- results are wrong. This is apparent when I was running floating point
- fractal stuff. So do be warned that you are taking the risk if you
- are running more than a few percentage.
