I had a former Apple engineer (high/low level hw engineering) living near
me for a while and he had his 5300 bus clocked to 40MHz without problems.
It was a fair bit zippier than mine. He said the CPU wasn't worth
upclocking w/out L2 cache (and he was right, given the 1400).
The original 1400 would've been 120MHz as well, but Apple at the time
(given the release schedule) couldn't get the 1400s stable with the CPUs
at 120Mhz, so 117 it was. Mind you, I've seen a 117MHz 1400s which were
also less than stable; some I gave up on as I could never get them to
work properly.
Geoffrey ('Brains') who frequents c.s.m.p. used to manage school labs of
1400s and hates them with a passion as he ran into all sorts of trouble
with them (random freezes, RAM combos working with some, not others
etc.).
I think the revved ROMs in later 133s and 166s fixed a lot of problems,
as I've come across a fair few of these which exhibit no problems
whatsoever.
