I do remember something about that too. I ran a few benchmarks on my co-pros
and other machines and there was a marked difference between the 32016 big
board 2P at 10MHz and the small board SP at 6MHz in the cheese wedge. The
10MHz parts need heatsinks, otherwise they'll die. I don't think it's
possible to "overclock" the 6MHz variety to 10MHz though. I recently had a
clearout and gave away a 32016, as I realized it was identical (except the
name) to the Cambridge Co-Processor which I've already got.

Did anyone get any other processor emulated on Sprow's ARM7TDMI board ? I
would like to thin down my Beeb 2nd Processor collection and that looks like
a good bet.

Dave ;)
