actually, putting something in the ROMs to deliberatly torpedo faster
operation kinda makes sense from a field support standpoint.  I'm sure
IBM doesn't want to get called out to a place where someone uped the
speed of a system to 8MHz, and then left it to someone naive, who was grateful
for the speedup until one day...Of course, I wouldn't want someone putting
these timing loops in my AT (if I had one...)
