Mods are listed here alsoI've been experimenting with the STE booster code again. Basically bypassing the 8mhz signal as its so far seems to be causing various odd issues. So the 32mhz gets down clocked to 8mhz and that is used instead.
Anyway, the booster is now using a 8mhz gal generated clock.the tests in GB6 have changed slightly. Integer division has gone up from 355% to 364%, and some other tests have dropped a few percent. Its probably to be expected as there would be a slight phase shift in the 8mhz clock so it would explain the slight differences in the scores.

However, I have now found that there might be a wakeup state on the STE as sometimes the results for int-div are 355% like normal, other times its 364%. Seems to be random between totally powering off and powering back up again. I would assume it to be that the system 8MHz clock varies in timings between the GAL generated 8MHz generated from the 32MHz clock.
I am not going to investigate this any further ( I just do not have time) . But I thought I would mention this for future reference if people get slight variations in benchmark figures between power ups.
Also note that this "issue" does not affect any currently produced boosters as none of them use the GAL generated 8MHz clock yet.
