First of all, as I wrote in email, let me apologize for the
"$K+" above. I meant hundreds+ not thousands+.

four times in different threads. ;-|

Look at one of the corners of the TWGS card. There
is a shiny metal box. This is the oscillator. It is the
CPU's clock. It runs at a Mhz rating 4x that of the
CPU. The TWGS normally has a 28Mhz oscillator.
The CPU can often be overclocked a Mhz or two, so
try a 32Mhz oscillator followed by a 36Mhz one.
The oscillator is socketted so replacing it is easy.
There are two oscillator sizes, full size and half size.
The TWGS card uses the half sized ones (which are
square rather than rectangular).
