A few years back someone posted a tale from CBM back then -- a couple
of engineers, possibly inebriated, decided they should see how high
they could clock a 6502. They got it somewhere in the vicinity of 25
MHz before the magic smoke literally escaped. I tried searching deja
for the article, but I couldn't find it...
Imagine running a CPU at 25 MHz in the late 70s or early 80s though.
Must have been quite a thrill :)
