I've had a bit of spare time to fiddle.
I now have 6 MHz running nicely (actually 6.2MHz).  Screen issue resolved
(was a different problem).  Also serial port is working.  TSDOS at 6MHz
is.. fast!

I won't go into the details yet, as I have poked around a bit here and a
bit there.  When I'll do a good summary once I have it well understood.

Some comments though.
The original main rom and typical M100 RAMs are pretty slow.  Hard to go
fast with 200nsec or 250 nsec ram/rom.
Addressing the slow parts seems to be working well.
* faster main rom is pretty easy.  Just get a fast Eprom, like a TEEPROM
etc.
* faster RAM == REXCPM (plugs in, no problem)

Next hurdle is 8MHz (actually 8.23MHz).

(my clock circuit gives me divide ratios of 49.454MHz)
/6 = 8.23, /8 = 6.17, /10 = 4.94 etc)
