How did you go about getting yours to 117?


Is it the same process as the 68k Duos?  What speed oscillator did you use?


How stable was it?


Thanks


 I had a clock chip oscillator here I was using for a special app...think it 
was 37.333 or 37.5 mhz.  Just swapped the stock 33.33mhz osc. chip with the 37 
mhz part.  Everything worked, but it really didn't add that much to the 
processing speed.  Like MadDog says, the processor ratio needs to be changed, and 
that was hardwired, IIRC.  Any time you mess with bus speed, the chance of 
something not working increases.  At 42 mhz, my old 280C would run, but crash on 
occasion....but the modem would not work, ext. SCSI would not be reliable (bus 
speed affects the onboard SCSI interface chip, even tho externally it 
self-clocks) and the floppy would not work at all.

Hey, but it was fun!
