Title: Re: [DuoList] Duo 2300c Overclocking
But everything was working on the 2300c?

I overclocked a PowerBook 3400c once to 165mhz and everything still worked.

I was hoping perhaps getting my 2300c to around 120mhz.

 I had a clock chip oscillator here I was using for a special app...think it was 37.333 or 37.5 mhz.  Just swapped the stock 33.33mhz osc. chip with the 37 mhz part.  Everything worked, but it really didn't add that much to the processing speed.  Like MadDog says, the processor ratio needs to be changed, and that was hardwired, IIRC.  Any time you mess with bus speed, the chance of something not working increases.  At 42 mhz, my old 280C would run, but crash on occasion....but the modem would not work, ext. SCSI would not be reliable (bus speed affects the onboard SCSI interface chip, even tho externally it self-clocks) and the floppy would not work at all.
 
Hey, but it was fun!

Everything worked fine.  I took the precaution of replacing the apple gap pad with a superior one I ordered from digikey.
