40MHz-oscillator in IIfx

Well, if the IIfx is anything like the IIsi in terms of Oscillator layout, I'd say that oscillator is probably in charge of some subsystem on the motherboard. Perhaps video, as sound does not require a 40mhz oscillator. It's obviously not for the processor, though. -- Deven Oscillators are
