They may very well produce chips rated for speeds greater than 13.5MHz. At least one produces a CMOS version that would run cooler at the higher speeds even if it wasn't rated for that speed. -- Tony Stieber astieber@csd4.milw.wisc.edu att!uwmcsd1!uwmcsd4!astieber Nancy Reagan on cursor positioning: Just say Home!
