I did this hack (32MHz) to my 2000 several years ago... I installed the Oscillator and a switch onto an old VI2000 board in the video socket. It worked fine except for serial, disk and video. :-} The video can be fudged by either the use of a multisync monitor or via a *big* tweak to the vertical hold. Stay away from the serial port and only write to HDs and ram: and you should be OK. Not that I was even able to switch the sucker on the fly, meaning I could do floppy type stuff to get things started, then switch to the faster speed for renders and such, then back again for floppy saves. Not really all that useful, but a fun hack. :-} > ============================================================================= > Jean-Marc Tanzi | Millions of years to make oil and forests, > jmt@cma.cma.fr | a century to burn them.
