No, haven't tried to reengineer the logic...mainly 'cuz I thought the unit would probably not handle anything much faster than 20% over anyway (support chips). Lemme know how it goes....and as for the comments about swapping chips, it is not that hard to swap them <<if>> you have the right gear. My old Pace desoldering station can handle chips up to small CPU size (tho I've never tackled a PPC chip). I need to USE my 2300....if killed it, I'd have to replace it and that would probably be an IceBook instead of another 2300. Although, having a 180 mhz Duo DOES sound interesting! Cheers!
