The 14.317MHz xtal was connected to the south bridge controller chip, but for recent CPUs this has gone away as has northbridge and the system clock has been integrated into the PCH (Platform Controller Hub) chip according to Wikipedia, so I suspect that if you find the clock feeding that , then you could stabilize it in that same way. > > thanks, > Vladimir > _______________________________________________ > time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] > To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts > and follow the instructions there.
