It displayed 100 MHz with 2.0.5. 2.0.5 automatically (:-() added a very large rounding factor to make sure that my 60-MHz machine would actually be diagnosed as 60 MHz. 2.2 does not. All the evidence I've seen points to problems with the ISA timer/counter chip (well, cell in the bridge chip) and the DELAY() function. If you have a 90-MHz CPU and the system diagnoses it at 100 MHz, then your timer/counter is running 11% too slow, or your CPU clock is running 11% too fast. -GAWollman -- Garrett A.
