>Description:
	The cpuspeed variable in arch/pmax/pmax/autoconf.c has the
	value 30 with is too small on the faster DECstations.  One
	obvious side effect of this is that when typing on a serial
	console characters repeat unexpectantly because the DELAY(2)
	in the scc code is much shorter than the 2us that the chip
	takes to settle.
>How-To-Repeat:
	Log on to the console of a 5000/260 and type :-)
>Fix:
	There's two different fixes:

	  Change the value of cpuspeed in autoconf.c to a larger
	  value if on an R4000 or R4400 CPU.

	or

	  Actually calculate the clock speed and use that.  This
	  code could also be used to determine whether the machine
	  is a 20, 25 or 33 MHz CPU for some machines.

	The first is trivial, the second a bit harder...
