JJ> Not really surgery, just replacing the crystal and the '816 for a JJ> quick and dirty speed upgrade. Don't laugh. Please don't laugh. I don't have a background in electronics. "Crystal?" I DO have a good friend, local to me and fairly Apple-savvy, who's an electronics wiz. Given a push in the right direction, I presume I could get him to help me out on this.... [Thanks for not laughing. :) ]
