In comp.sys.ibm.pc.something I noticed they are talking a lot about
upgrading CPU's to higher speeds by replacing the Crystal.  Now the
big question (I haven't been inside I Tandy 4000/LX for a while now)
I think the LX had a removable set of crystals.  Would it be worth a
try to order 25Mhz crystals from National Parts and plug them in?
Or is it going to be too hard on the CPU & Support chips?  Maybe
just that + buy a new 25Mhz 386 chip would be worth the time?

While I am at it anyone know of a way to upgrade a Tandy 4000 or
4000/LX to a 486 cpu?

Thanks in advance,

Karl
