Jim, the *first* thing you folks should do is spring for a copy of the
schematics of the machine in question. Perusal of the clock circuit in
those will show that on the video connector are two lines, XCLK, and
XCLKENABLE*. Basically, when XCLKENABLE* is grounded your Amiga is running
from the clock coming in on the XCLK pin. You can move the frequency around
on this pin to your hearts delight and change the speed of your system.
Note that the frequency on this pin should be 8*3.58Mhz or about 28Mhz.
Things to note :
a) The video is generated from this clock so you had better have
a multisync attached to your machine or you won't be able to
see the video.
b) The time blocks are in the Custom chips and they will crap out
at about 30 Mhz.
