[SPARCbook] Overclocking 3GS (was: Reviving a Dead SparcBook 3GS - stuck booting)

[Barry A. Dobyns]

Well, I was just thinking, I have the 3GS (85MHZ) and I know that the 3GX (110Mhz) is basically the same guts with a faster CPU
daughter card.  So if I only cranked up the clock to 110Mhz, same as the 3GX, I wouldn't be exceeding any design limits in the
system.

We'll concentrate on making it all work again first tho...
