What is the clock speed of the Mac II?  Is it somewhere around 12 MHZ?
 
My question is, can a 16.67Mhz 68020 and 68881 be plugged into the motherboard
to execute about 20% faster if I tweek the clock up to 16.67Mhz???  Is there
any timing problems (other than software loops that broke programs on the
Mac II already anyway) to watch out for????
 
Just an interesting question....
