<< I once had a PC/XT overclocked to 25 or so MHz. It caught fire...
Basically, I just pulled the chip marked 25 MHz from a dead 386
and put it where the XT's ship was. It took about 10 minutes to start
emitting black smoke.
This was before I knew they were useful... >>
A friend of mine once told me that they used to replace the 1mhz? crystal
on Kim-1 boards with an 8mhz crystal. Man, that 6502 was real fast for a
while. :-)
