I think here were some things mixed up.
1) You CAN speed up the 68881/2 by just putting in an own, faster
   oscillator for it and changing one jumper.
2) Changing the processor clock is not officially supported.
   Dave Haynie answered this already and did not recommend it.
   He says there are too many risks that the system may fail
   in at least some situations.
