According to the latest InfoWorld, somebody pulled out the 12 mhz chip, and put an 18 mhz crystal in (the crystal is socketed, not soldered). It worked, except for the 80287, a diagnostics program, and some clock-sensitive software, such as communication programs. It looks like IBM can speed the AT up by 50% whenever they want to. ------------------------------------------- Greg Shonle ...!{boulder,cires,denelcor,hao,hplabs,mit-vax,unmvax}!csu-cs!shonle
