Yep - you're right - was getting my OS9 's confused....  Still
remember the guy locally that had a potentiometer stuck thru the lid
of his hooked up to the clock circuit to 'overclock it' long before
I'd ever heard of that term.   Looking back at it I wonder if he was
feeding gulible teenagers a line, but the guy was really good with
microelectronics...
