This really steams me.  I got in touch with Steven Malechek, even had him
return my phone call, but never got any more info about this.  He told me
more than a month ago that he would have the info to me by the end of the
week.  Can one of you send me the info on the upgrade so I don't have to
attack dial Applied Engineering to get through to the Tech. Line?

Reason for my anger: well, it's a real bitch to have a 17MHz chip in your
hands and not be able to push it all the way because of a small cache.  I
need an adapter for the socket too, but that's another story.
