No. The No-Slot-Clock (manufactured by Dallas Semiconductor - dst. by
SMT) has its own internal frequency reference. Besides the Zip Chip's
method of acceleration does not affect the system clock or speed external
to the CPU.
 
Be warned that the No-Slot-Clock may not work with the Zip Chip for other
(yet unknown) reasons. I have a No-Slot-Clock installed in my //c which
does not opperate when I have a W65C802 CPU installed in place of the 65C02.
Western design Center (creator of the 65C802/816) is looking into the
problem.
