- Ground Control strongly implied that the chips would 'probably' run much
- faster than their rated 36Mhz. Speeds of up to 40 or even 42Mhz were
- suggested... this seems believable (my 25Mhz chip easily runs at 30+Mhz)
- but I'd like to find someone who's tried increasing the clock before
- purchasing. Anyone?
