[code deleted]

How do you clock the VIDC with 60MHz? Do you just replace the quarz in the 
VIDC enhancer? Are there any known problems (apart from the one you mentioned)
that may cause damage to the VIDC?
The cooling of the VIDC could be done with a product called Icecap. I don't 
know if there is one that fits the size of the VIDC, though.
