We did a half-hearted attempt, trying to run it at 25mhz (with a 50mhz xtal
pack), and decided that the RAMs, per minumum, were too slow.  I also
suspect that the PLD may quite possibly be too slow as well. :/

We _did_, however, underclock it to ~14mhz, which proves that the scpu can
run at about any given speed while in turbo mode.
