The speed rating on a CPU is a maximum. 7 MHz rated components will be quite hard to find, as 8 MHz is such a standard rating. > O'course you'd also have to unsolder the SPU off the board, not a > pretty act but possible with a soldering iron, solder sucker and a bit > of patience! I'd recommend just cutting the pins with a pair of small wire cutters, then unsoldering the pins from the PCB one by one (68 pins, good luck! ;-). Trying to unsolder the whole CPU at once will almost certainly result in overheating the solder pads and causing them to work loose from the PCB. That's a Bad Thing. The 68000 will be destroyed in the process, but they cost next to nothing nowadays, anyway. ,xtG .tsooJ -- Joost van de Griek http://www.jvdg.net/ -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
