Nice work, captain, but I don't need to read anything, because I know
for a fact that the 85 runs about 4 times faster when there is no
capacitor connected on c9, I TRIED IT. It also says so on the hypertext
info for turboing the 85, listed at ticalc.org in the technical guides
and plans section. It actually makes the clock speed about 20mhz or
higher.
I suggest YOU READ SOME BOOKS. (or html, or hypertext, or whatever)
