Why not just change the oscillerator on the MoBo and get the extra speed
If only it was that simple..
You can`t change the mobo timing.Even if the creaky old custom chips could take being clocked faster, it`ll completely stuff things up.
PAL/NTSC screens would be garbled cos their timings changed, sound would come out of Paula at a different pitch, chip ram would probably be unstable at best etc
Wouldn't the data bus speed at some point make any faster
CPU pointless?
Only if you ran it without any memory installed on the accelerator.
Since it`ll probably spend most of it`s time reading/writing to the fast mem, the speed of the data bus on the motherboard only comes into play when you need to need to talk to it (native gfx/sound/disk IO etc).
