Well, I received my package from Digi-Key today, and now my Quadra 800 
     is running at 40.5 MHz.  The 24 MHz oscillator didn't work, I got an 
     unhappy Mac face, but once I put the 20 MHz oscillator in it worked 
     like a charm.  The total cost for one setup is about 12 dollars.  I 
     bought enough parts to chip two Macs, plus some extra oscillators to 
     get the right speed, and the total cost plus shipping was 30 bucks.  I 
     recommend this easy upgrade, especially if you don't use your serial 
     ports (there are some problems with the serial ports if you run your 
     Mac too fast).  The Output Enabler kits are nice, but the equivalent 
     kit for my Quadra 800 would cost 40 bucks!

     A great clock chipping page is at: 
     http://socrates.berkeley.edu/~schrier/mhz.html
     
     The site explains how to easily build your own clock chipping device.  
     He has links to www.digi-key.com where you can buy all the parts he 
     explains on line (The digi-key site is really nice, they even provide 
     a links to UPS so you can track your order).  It is about 23 bucks to 
     make it yourself.  The clock chipping site also has links to the 
     Output Enabler site if you just want to buy a premade kit.  My 
     shipment from digi-key should be arriving today, so I will let you all 
     know how it works out.  The plans they have use a surface mounted test 
     clip that you can easily remove at anytime to return your motherboard 
     to it's original state.
     
     My Quadra 800 should be running over 40 mhz by the end of the week!!!
     
     Hope this helps,

Could anybody tell me if the accellerators that were popular a few years 
back before the PowerPC
rage will  work okay on 68040 cpu's? I've got a quadra. Does anybody 
here have a clock doubler
on this kind of box? I'd like to help this guy out and get one myself 
too...that is, if it works! I think
that the motherboard must have some wires sniped or melted together. Is 
that correct? Can someone
email me an address of an available kit supplier? Are there still ads 
for this kind of retro stuff?

You can use me as a shipping point, or whatever, so you can get your 
gizmo to work the way youwant it to. i've got a PO box if that's okay...

If you tell me how much the box will weigh, i should be able to call the 
Post Office for how muchit will cost you.
