Well, phi1 and phi2 being swapped in the data sheet were discovered
this year, so ;)

The question is which devices do depend on this?

There is already an 18MHz clock on the B motherboards, so except for
the P, it's easy to obtain a synchronized clock with higher frequency.
In fact, using an adapter on top of the timing shift register gives 9
states throughout the 2MHz cycle of the CPU clock, and by using both
flanks of the 18MHz clock you can get 18 steps within each 2MHz period
cycle.

Of course it would be more cumbersome for a user to have to solder a
wire or add some clip-on-thing, but using this in a hypothetical future
B replacement/replica motherboard would be trivial.
