Yes, I have, but only to 25MHz - because I only had oscillators for less or equal to that, which could fit the space. It worked just fine, with the exception of the floppy controller which is normally clocked from the 24MHz oscillator. However, I may be persuaded to try it again - after all, currently the SGC is running without a floppy, connected to an Aurora through a Qubide with a CF card on it. This means all the traditional problems with 8301 timing and floppy access do not apply. And - I have many more oscillators to try :-) BTW Phoebus, your Qubide is still here. I will be (with some luck) sending it over next week with a new set of GALs, these will be a bit experimental, so I will include a pair of the standard V2 GALs as well. >P.S.

(That would be a nice adaptor;-) QL >bus to ISA :-) It should not be to difficult, actually, assuming one finds the space. In fact, it would be easyest to attach it to the ROM slot, as strange as that sounds. Regarding your question about activity indication for the ROM slot, it cannot be done easily (i.e. without at least one chip and use of a soldering iron :-) ). Nasta
