[NTLK] Implant 2000 on eBay

[Jake Bordens]

NewtonSales aside, the text of their upgrade leads talks about “flipping the switch” which leads me to believe that it is not as advanced or as integrated as the Implant 2000.

It seems to be more along the lines of this upgrade:

    I’m not sure if it is the same, but NewtonSales have something similar in their offer: http://www.newtonsales.com/sbi.htm <http://www.newtonsales.com/sbi.htm>

Also it is “glitchless” so that you don’t crash the CPU with malformed clock signals when you switch frequencies.  I’m not an expert here, but it is something I wanted to experiment with once upon a time.
