A couple of us sped up the IIc+ 2 or 3 years ago. The other guy got
8mhz and I toped out at 10mhz. We didn't do all that hacking, all we
did was replace the oscillator with a faster one. With a bit of
experimenting, I likely could have gone faster but I didn't feel the
need. If I'd had s faster data input than a floppy drive, I might have
felt more inclined to try for more speed.
