Steve,

Excellent news.  Could you ask your contact how they upped the speed to 25?  I
mean, did they decide to use this particular 25MHz chip a year ago and developed
the program around it?  Or was it simply finding a faster chip which would "fit"
the motherboard?  I know it's not likely, but it sure would be great it we could
semi-easily (or even if it is difficult!) to pop out and replace the RISC-CPU
with a faster version.
