"johnklos", _You can not make it work without the help of PLL chip in any way_!In all Quadras + IIVx this PLL works as Frequency doubler. That means, you put 12.5MHz in and out comes 25MHz. You put 20MHz in -> out comes 40MHz.
I'm sorry, but how can you tell me that I can not make it work when I've been running at least one of my Quadra 605s at 40 MHz this way for a decade? That doesn't make any sense.
OK, if you're using 20 MHz oscillator in your mod, would you mind telling me where that 40 MHz signal for the processor comes from?

:-D
