Yeah, Steve. I recall that Jim Lill posted some instructions on the old GEnie site for getting the card to run at 9 mHz. I followed them, and it ran at 9 mHz without a hitch. (Probably still does. I should be able to check that out in a couple of months after I resuscitate some other things.) In addition to the crystal change, the card had to be repopulated with the F version of the several chips.
Yup, and there was (I think) a single jumper wire required. I'll have to dig mine out at some point. In light of all we went through back then to get a few more cycles out, it's even more incredible to watch the Freed clone run effortlessly at 20Mhz.!
