The clock in the A1200 is 14Mhz. The AGA chipset derives a steady
7.4Mhz signal from that and works it's magic. The only reason AGA
is faster is because it can do 32bit accesses, and 64bit double
CAS type stuff. But you look at any EClock reading from ANY Amiga,
and you'll see it hits the same value - that magic 7Mhz that makes
video work possible.
