Apple II Computer Info
To get above 9Mhz usually requires a new CPU chip.
These cost about $20 from a company called
Western Design Center which is in Mesa Arizona.
The chip is the 65C816S8PL-14, rated at 14Mhz (
but the design has gone much faster than this due
to the fact that WDC only tests them to 14Mhz).
The CPU is located near the center of the card in
a socket and has the numbers 65C816 printed on
it (there may be other numbers and letters too, but
65C816 is on there).
For the >9Mhz mod, simply replace the CPU with
the 14Mhz part and then plug in a faster oscillator
4x the Mhz you want to clock the CPU.
Ok, I found my old DigiKey catalog. Here are the
DigiKey part numbers:
CTS Clock Oscillators, Half Size
40Mhz CTX175-ND $3.25
50Mhz CTX176-ND $3.25
64Mhz CTX177-ND $4.45
You can order them at the DigiKey web site at this

An oscillator of a particular Mhz will clock the TWGS
CPU at 1/4 of the oscillator Mhz, so the 50Mhz
oscillator will make the CPU go at 12.5Mhz, for
example.
If price is not an issue, I suggest getting one of each
and experimenting to see what speed the TWGS
tops off at.
If not, I suggest getting the 50Mhz and 40Mhz units.
12.5Mhz TWGS (50Mhz oscillator) almost always
works, but with a 40Mhz unit, you can fall back on
10Mhz operation if necessary.
The 64Mhz oscillator (16Mhz operation) is a bit more
iffy, since cache RAM speeds come into play. Grab
this oscillator too if you want to experiment, but it
may or may not work.
Good luck!
