- Naive question: I've got the opportunity to get a 25 Mhz M68030
- and M68882 for a reasonable price. Can I use them in my Mac
- accelerator board (a TSI Gemini which allows for just this kind
- of chip upgrade) but keeping the clock speed at 16 Mhz? The rea-
- son I don't want to change the clock speed is (a) probable incom-
- patibility with my hard disk and floppy drive and (b) even if I
- wanted to I could only boost the board to 20 Mhz (according to
- the manual).
-
- Thanks in advance for any advice on this.
