It think the IIsi is 20 mhz, but an 030 cpu.  You can also hotrod it with a
faster clockchip, btw. Instructions can be found on the net, just do a
search for "iisi clockchip". But your suggestion on how to get around the
password is good.

It has a Superdrive, so it's good for making/extracting ProDos disk images
and sneaker netting Apple II downloads from a PC to the IIsi and then to
your IIgs...
