This is akin to the idea of just dividing the 14mhz clock by two to get the
normal E-clock. The problem is that the E-clock needs to be in sync with the 
68000 bus cycles. It gets a little complicated but a couple of extra chips
can substitute the E-clock. That extra 68000 will just have to sit on the shelf
by itself.
