TI-H: let's overclock everything in sight!@%!!
Random thought (not ti-related)
What if you took an old ISA floppy controller, and 'overclocked' that, by
changing the 4mhz (?) crystal to 8mhz.. as well as changing any resistors
or capacitors that might be part of a external filter network for the
chip. Then, you took a 1.44 floppy drive, and 'overclocked' the motor (by
changing a capacitor/crystal/resonator or something) to run at 720/600 rpm
instead of 360/300. Some other stuff might have to be changed...
You'd now have an overclocked floppy drive!.. that could make linux
installation disks in half the time. And heck, if you can overclock your
CPU/memory/FSB/video card/... why stop at that? :P
(anyone crazy enough to do this, tell me how it works out)
