I sent a message to Dick off-list that covers a question raised
on-list, so I'll forward it here in case anyone else is interested.
From: mann(a)pa.dec.com (Tim Mann)
It's definitely possible to pull the crystal oscillator on a Catweasel
and substitute another frequency. Jens (the designer) sent me an email
mentioning that he'd put a 40 MHz clock in one for a test he was doing -- he
connected it directly to the output of an Amiga's floppy disk controller
in order to find out for sure where the FDC was applying write precomp.
I don't know when or if I'll get around to trying to change the crystal
myself, but I'll definitely let you know if I do. I might also forward
some of the mail we've been exchanging to Jens and see if that makes him
think about supplying a different crystal as standard. It would seem
that something with a factor of 3 in it would be best, since the 300 kHz
data rate used for 5" double density in a 360 RPM drive should be
accommodated too.
