Hi!
My name is Robert and I am working at my Atari since 1985.
Mostly I repair Ataris from my friends and make some hardware for my Atari ST.
One of this project was the "More than 8 MHz inside your Atari ST".
It was a project to increment the mainboard frequency from 8 MHz up to - in most cases - 12 or 12.5 MHz of your Atari ST.

If you have some trouble with this old hardware, don't hesitate to contact me.
If you got a look to my forum name, you see the relation to this old project.
Regards Robert

If it ain't broke, test it to Destruction.

Hi Robert,
I downloaded your 12mhz zip file, I am very intrigued but I don't speak any German. Do you have an English translation available?
Also, does running the motherboard at 12mhz greatly benefit speed and benchmarks, I assume it would be very good! Is it stable?
Thx

Hi Robert,
As a fellow newbie that will be playing with Mhz shortly.... why 12Mhz and not 16? Some constraints I am going to run into...?
