I was always under the impression that drift was very much based on the
quality of the clock chip, and that this was reasonably variable.
>From 10 different 5000/260's around here, I get these drifts:
-16.447 ppm
-14.347 ppm
-12.498 ppm
-9.370 ppm
-8.156 ppm
-7.361 ppm
-4.622 ppm
-0.365 ppm
3.450 ppm
6.144 ppm
The -0.365 ppm drift is from our oldest one! The only 5000/260 I've got
running NetBSD is +56.585 ppm. I just assumed it had a bad crystal...
