    It's been a number of years since I've peeked into an //c+, but unless it
has a separate crystal for just the CPU, then no.  If it has 1 crystal, then
all the other circuits in the system are dependent on that clock signal being
16 Mhz, for instance.  So in principal it won't work at all.

  On a machine like the Quadra 700, the CPU has it's own crystal, and so
swapping the 50 Mhz crytal for a 66 Mhz one (going from a CPU speed of 25 to
33) is not a problem.
