Wicher 500i - classic turbo card for A500

How do you get a 68000 to clock at 50 MHz?
I've never seen even the HC versions pushed that high.

The depressing part is an '020 or '030 at half that speed would still dust a 50 MHz 68000's fanny.
And...there are 50 MHz '030 components.

I think this is another one of those "homebrew" type projects, along the lines of the TerribleFire, etc.  The designers are starting with an '000 and hopefully moving up from there as they learn.  

Still, where the heck do you find 50MHz 000s?
I've seen 66MHz CPU32 derivatives, but nothing this overclockable with an 000 or 010 designation.

And yeah, working with '020 and '030 cpus is SO much more complicated, but there are some operations that are up to 6 times faster.

Overclocking HC version.

I didn't know they could be pushed that far.
But its always been known that Motorola greatly under rated them, so...

The original 68HC000 in Supra Turbo 28 clocked happily to 28MHz - I did see some mentions that somebody did clock it to 42 MHz. Those CMOS chips were very tolerant.

I know about the Supra, and I have heard the claims of higher clocks, I've just never heard of anyone pushing one to 50MHz.

I'd love to know if they are overvolting it.
