It works. I believe that Wayne (?) has modded his to an even higher speed. Think of it as an "unpotted" Zip Chip. This is the first I've heard of having to upgrade the 65C02 to get it to run faster. Apparently the ones they used in //c+ machines were already high-speed capable. -michael Music synthesis for 8-bit Apple II's!
