Spicy O' Clip: Easy '040 overclocking with no soldering

Posted by: eharmon on 2023-07-09 21:15:30 After spending a week looking for a MacClip Jr, I gave up and decided to build my own (patience isn't a strength of mine). I wanted to preserve its best features, being non-invasive and reversible, since I love to keep my machines as stock as possible. Along the way, I realized you could set things up without soldering at all, which should keep this just as accessible as the original MacClip Jr. Best of all, it uses a Spicy O' Clock so you can get endless tweakability. I dubbed it the Spicy O' Clip: https://eharmon.net/retro/macintosh/spicy-o-clip/

Posted by: eharmon on 2023-07-24 11:13:47 Thanks! Really I have to give most of the credit to the folks who wonderfully documented earlier versions of the process in the 90s. 🙂 I'm not interested in making money, but it could definitely be sold as a kit. Maybe I'll recommend it to Kero!
