I recieved my 65c816-14 from WDC and replaced the old 65c816-7. All
works find, but I still want to push the board above 8Mhz. Please :-)
can anyone tell me if my ZIPGS will stop functioning if I snip the 2
pin crystal (labeled x2) off the board and utilise the empty
Oscillator (Labeld x1) socket with a 4-pin oscillator?

The FAQ says there is extra curcuitry for for the 2-pin crystal
(canister), so if I just snip it and put a 4-pin in is the board
intellegent enough to know which one to use?

Sorry if you are getting bored with my post....just to don't want to
screw my working ZIPGS!
