I overclocked the 286 in my ITT XTRA XP years ago (6

slightly *noticeably* faster. Am not aware of a bios
dependency for this hack. In fact, later AT's had an 8
mhz clock.
I'm a bit behind here. If y'all were talking about
raising it to some *other* ungodly speed, forgive the interference.

I thought the
overclocking craze on the
PC-AT was a lot more interesting, myself...
Apparently on the AT model, you needed to have an
early (1984) BIOS to make
it work, but yeah, I know the CPUs in the one I have
are 10MHz bumped down
to 6.
