Hey Glenn!
Good idea. It's your IIgs, so I don't mind taking your advice. :-)
I ran the continual self-test all night, and no glitches. Yay! I'm letting
it rest today, and will try more testing tonight. I have to say, the 50MHz
crystal does seem to add quite a bit of pep. I timed 10 iterations of the
self-test using the 50MHz and 28MHz crystals. At 50MHz, the tests ran in 58
seconds. At 28 MHz, the tests took 1min20sec, which is about what you'd
expect.
Now all I need is for my RamKeeper to arrive, and I'll be all set to build
up my 03 killer machine. :-)
Cheers
Tim
