Well you could mess with the crystal I guess but you would need
that 14 Mhz 020 to go to 28 (a little too hot probably).

What they should have done is put 68EC020/20 Mhz in there and
make it run at 28 Mhz and put at least 2 Mb fast ram as default.
Other mistake was 2.5" IDE connector as 2.5" IDE hard drives were
most expensive at the time , SCSI was much cheaper but 3.5" IDE
were way cheaper.

What they did is make companies who made software stick to 14 Mhz
2 Mb slow Chip Ram as default configuration and floppies.

If they did it that way it would be 4 x faster than stock A1200 and
software would be made for that speed.It's only 1/2 speed of 030/50
but it's 4 x fast as stock.

I didn't have problem with most 3.5" IDE drives as long as they
were less or equal to 4 Gb although name wasn't recognized
from firmware partition program just worked on plain Kick 3.0
and original FFS.Off course I meant that they should have made
bigger case , stronger PSU and better support for those from
the start.
