Assuming that stuff was even socketed,  of course,  as there was _no_ 
consistency with regard to that in all the c= stuff I worked on.  And we sold 
a lot of sockets to people,  that got put in as a part of the troubleshooting 
process.

The one speedup I installed was a replacement ROM,  that went in by way of an 
adapter (more pins).
