I have a Joysystems 286 AT clone.
When I play some games on it I get killed right away, becouse the
clock speed is so fast (10 MHz). Im thinking of getting a 10MHz
crystal to slow the speed down to 5MHz. I think 5MHz is the speed
of an old PC. This should solve the problem of getting killed so
fast. I would like to know if I can install a switch to the two
crystals with out any problems? Will a wire running out to the back
of the computer box be too long and affect how the crystal works? Do
I need to have a switch on both leads of the crystal? Is there a way
through software to slow down the clock speed with out changing the
crystal? Any help would be helpfull.
