- Well, the 'messy text' you describe with AIBB and some icons on your
- Workbench screen has been found to occur on accelerated systems utilizing
- only 16 bit ported memory. It is possible it is a timing problem related to
- blitter operations and the output of text. As for SysInfo reporting the
- clock to be 24.20 MHz, it is wrong. Even if you are overclocking a CPU
- (and I do advise against it), the speed will be the frequency of the clock
- crystal - 25 MHz.
