I don't think that you can...I mean I don't think that
you could just "pop" in a crystal and go...the reason
is in the way that the Newt uses it's memory. If you
clock the Newt to a higher speed, you will reach a
threshold where the Newt will fail due to memory
timing anomolies...and that threshold will be quite
small, probably no greater than a 2-5% speed increase.
Not worth it. What makes the Impact 2000 upgrade work
is that it has buffer chips which aid in the memory
timing problems that you would run into. Also it seems
that the serial port is clocked to processor xtal
frequency, meaning that if you clock your Newt, you
will no longer be able to use your port for connecting
to your desktop machine. The Impact 2000 solves this
by having a second xtal on board that falls back to
the original speed in order to maintain compatibility.
