Thanks guys, that takes a load off.
My electronics development days/education ended at about the time this card was made, it topped out at the CMOSS Cookbook Second Edition. The crystal can and ROM are about the only components similar to what we worked with back in the day. I just spec'd the project, did the PCB layouts, made the PCB prototypes and RubyLith patterns for the PCB House. I hardly even touched a soldering iron.
Now if somebody could noodle out what crystal to replace the stock one with to underclock this card to give 60 Hz LCD outputs . . . or tell me it's not gonna work at all, I can drop this line of investigation.
I'm cool with the card as is, but they'd be a LOT more useful to the rest of the gang if we can get 'em to be more LCD friendly! :approve:
