Clock Generator

Post by iSDn »

Hi!

Can anyone tell me where i can find the clock generator on the BP6 board ?

Bye

that's the one which starts with ICSxxxxx.... that's the only chip between the last memory slot and the edge of the board.

I also gets hot though....

Turbo PLL time?
yea, back from the dead

If it ain't broken, mod it until it is

yeah!!!

BTW, holodeck, what do you know about it and how dificult is to do one? :)

and apply to BP6 of course... :D

it's easy once you learn it... like everything else in life
just a chip that sends various clock signals down different wires and you control it by varing resistance/capacitance into the input pins
I bet that if you google, turbo PLL or clockgenerator, you'll get a lot of hits
it was really popular durning the days before bios clock changes. you basically either remove the orgional chip and replace it with your own design or you hack the onboard chip by cutting traces and adding resistors to tweak it's clock output

think of it as a guy beating a drum to make slaves do work, and then have like 5 drummers crammed into one room... or something like that

Yeah, I saw some pics few years ago and it was WOW!!! guys from japan could change their FSB and PCI clocks the way they wanted...

I'd like to try that myself one day on some old mobo... for e.g. BP&... :D

I once had a '286/6MHz and the crystal could be replaced with a 10MHz. It was only a couple hundred bucks. I got a 386sx/25MHz instead.
There are *almost* no bad BP6s. There are mostly bad caps.

No BP6s remaining

AT Computers! I remember adding a 80287 Math Co-processor to mine, so AutoCAD would run faster. It properly had less than a meg of RAM. :)
