Why not put in ICD's AdSpeed in your STE, this will give it the 16mhz cpu.
speed.
From what I know in the Mega STE, its only the cpu that has the option
to run at 16mhz, is this not Ataries version of AdSpeed, this would be a far
cheaper alternative, about $340 from what I can remember.

Mind you I stand to be corrected on this, if my interpretation is incorrect.
