On the hp375, which was basically an hp380 with an L-shaped daughterboard
holding a 68030@50 and a 68882 (plugged into the 040 socket), I believe
there was a 100MHz crystal installed. Herb Peyerl <hpeyerl@beer.org>
could say for sure ... he upgraded his 345 (a smaller-case variant of the
375) to a 380 with a CPU/L-board swap and ROM upgrade.
So, I'm not sure where the "internally clock-doubled" notion comes from :-)
