Classic Bus overclocking?

[Oldsmobile_Mike]

I'm curious, Can a ZII bus be doubled if if not using a Toaster. What may be the pitfalls of this. There must be some way to increase bandwidth to give lets say a Vampire better performance. A graphics card could benefit.

Vampire sits in the CPU slot on an A2000, or in the CPU socket if you can cram it underneath the drive sled.  It doesn't use a Zorro II slot.

Don't know about overclocking the bus, I think you're hitting limitations on the old Buster chip in the A2K (as well as probably numerous other components); it never had any revisions or updates like the A3K/A4K Buster chip did for improved performance.  

See pic of Vampire installed in A2000 that I copied off Google+ a few days ago:

I was thinking the rest of the chips may not handle this but this could reduce the "bottleneck" if it can be done.

Pretty sure you'd get better performance using the onboard video of the Vampire board than any Zorro II graphics card.  Zorro II slots are still useful for legacy SCSI boards/peripherals, sound cards, networking, etc., though.

because Super Buster is a downgrade for Zorro-II users.

Out of idle curiosity, how is it a downgrade?  Is it because of all the DMA issues in the various revisions of the chip?
