25 MHz parts run at 24.883 MHz, I think. Not enough of a difference. However, if the original machine was overclocked from 33 to 36 MHz (possible since we're talking about a Q950, not a C650 - see what happens when threads get off-topic?) which is a reasonable overclock, then the clock-doubled PC601 would run at 72 MHz. -David -- Quadlist is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
