Paul Westphal Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 I’m restoring this 4mb STe and I found this mod in it. I’m guessing ( probably wrong ) it’s a 32mhz mod? Any information on this mod would be appreciated. Thanks, Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Umberto Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 its looks like its sending a 1.8mhz clock into Xtal1 or 2 of the mfp can't tell from picture. not a 32mhz booster. be nice to know what the gal logic is! Maybe a serial port upgrade for faster baud rates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParanoidLittleMan Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Indeed some serial port related upgrade. Not 32, but 1.8432 MHz . Btw. how you can expect that 8 MHz machine can work at all at 32 MHz ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Westphal Posted June 24, 2019 Author Share Posted June 24, 2019 Thank You for the reply PLM. It is appreciated. " I’m guessing ( probably wrong )" - were the words I used. I didn't ' expect ' to be correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParanoidLittleMan Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 The problem is not in were you right or wrong. Even thinking about 32 MHz mod for 8 MHz computer is what is very wrong. But, who knows, today may be that something like is possible - in overall present adverts. For instance, I see last weeks every time advert on government supporting news portal, where they talk about simple add on for car engine, what will bust it's power for 173 %, and decrease fuel consumption by 15% - not clear is both at once, but why not ? In lies everything is possible. Just to add, that considering efficiency of modern engines, it even contradicts law of energy preservation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guus.assmann Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Politicians discuss about laws and this changes these laws. So they think that discussing the rules and laws of nature can have the same effect. They generally lack the intelligence / knowledge / interest to understand it's not possible.

ParanoidLittleMan Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Guus, you might be right. Although I tend to think that they care only for one thing: money . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
