I think you're a bit confused about those dip switch settings. They do
*NOT* set the bus speed, they set the bus multiplier. On a 400 MHz ZIF
the setting you thought was for 66 MHz is actually for 6X bus ratio.

I used a NewerTech 450/466 G3 ZIF with a XLR8 Carrier in my PowerCenter,
and the XLR8 Carrier set the bus speed - I just had to figure out how to
set the bus ratio on the ZIF. NewerTech assumed the ZIF would only be
used on a G3 mobo using 66 MHz or 100 MHz bus, so their documentation
only included switch settings for 6X (466 MHz in Beige G3) and 4.5X (450
MHz in B/W G3). IIRC, I found the proper settings for 6.5X and 7X
through trial and error. Wish I had written them down, but....
