Looking for information on the crystals on my Sparc IPC.

There are two crystals on it, one runs at approx 92mhz and the other at
appprox. 105mhz.  Which one of these is the CPU clock crystal?  I know that
either one has got to be close because the system runs at 25mhz and
quartering either crystal frequency comes close.

I'd like to try overclocking this system but don't know which crystal to
change. (I'm curious enough to possibly toast my $40 IPC.  At $40 for an IPC
or $100 approx. for a used SS5 I feel it's worth the risk to change the
crystal.)

Anybody have any info on this?

Sincerely,

Mike Hebel
