I mentioned earlier how I twisted off two pins (9 & 10, I believe). What I
have is an AMD part, D8284A, out of an IBM PC. I managed to find a site
that called out 8284 as a 8088 clock generator, and right under it was a
8284A listed as IBM mfgr so I made a leap... I had a small handful of clone
boards at one time, but it seems I pitched them a while back. I can't see
any way I would have thrown out a socketed chip, so I _may_ still have one,
but I'm pretty sure that it'll be quicker in the long run to find one
somewhere else.
