Why the unusual frequency? — #26

Can the propeller work from a 62.6688Mhz clock? If so it's sampling can synchronised with the mac's pixel clock at four times. Alternatively, can it not use a 78.336Mhz clock? So …

IIcx ADB problem... — #6

the ADB jacks can handle more than anything you would want to shove in a mac electronics wise, so unless there is a physically broken plug the jack itself is not at fault, maybe s…

Did you follow the instructions on that site? If you wanna go renegade, you can try soldering the mouse directly to the mobo? If you have like a dirty mouse or bad mouse of course…

Why the unusual frequency? — #25

Why the unusual frequency? — #24

Why the unusual frequency? — #23

The RTClock / calendar / PRAM chip has its own 32KHz crystal. Everything else runs off the "16MHz" clock. If you don't care about serial baud rates, floppy read / write, or video s…
