I have an 10Mhz chip that I'm willing to sell.  Let me know if you want it.

You will have to change the SRAMs if you boost the processor speed over 9Mhz.

You don't know to get out the soldering iron!  You can purchase MCM6206-30
(32K * 8, 30 nsec, 0.6 mil wide, SRAMs) from "AMERICA II ELECTRONICS" ,
1-800-767-2637.

Let me know if you want the processor.
