- Greg, I think we would all find it "MOST INTERESTING" if you could
- discuss this a bit further.. Was it a 3B2 type KIT you purchased, or
- did you just purchase some "FASTER" chips from from semi-conductor catalog.
- I for one would be REAL interested in hearing about exactly what chips you
- replaced??
-
- I thought about trying something with the CLOCK crystal, but thought it
- might through the system's CLOCK into OVERDRIVE (ie it might run too fast?).

- This is indeed most interesting... I think I'll give it a try, and
- see if "SMOKE" appears??? I wonder what the "heat" factor would be for
- the CHIPSET, running a few extra MHz?? Did you check the time for any
- "speedups??" when you did the above??
-
- Thanks for your note Greg!
