I have never seen any trouble with systems running up to 8MHz, 1ws, but
I have seen problems when the speed is boosted to 10MHz, or even
running 6MHz with 0ws. Still, I will pick and choose the board I need
when I can get things like the the AMT (8.35MHz, 0ws optional) for low
prices. At that price I can use them for particular applications which
won't need anything but serial, parallel, display and memory.

I am told that BGI (back of PC Week) can supply memory up to 14MHz or
12MHz 0ws, but I haven't tested it myself, although people I work with
are running it at 10MHz. I have no clue to what you do for a display at
12 MHz, probably buy it from PC Designs or PC's Limited, since they
sell the clones at that speed.
