The ACIA's are rated up to 2Mhz anyway, so they are not being " overclocked" as such. But obviously they are not being clocked at 500KHz either.
No, I was thinking about your CTRL-ALT-DEL and lingering keypress problem, but now I think about it that was the 536, so nevermind (I was wondering if something were triggering earlier because of the faster E clock).

ohhh, no, thats a bug in EMUTOS ;) :lol: They are looking into it for a fix, but doesn't seem a simple one.

It's fixed since commit/snapshot 20220410-162405-32ac9177:

Oh nice :bravo: Last I saw was some of the discussion about it all. I did not realise there had been a fixed done for it yet. Nice!

Yes. Any accelerated CPU, even a simple 68000 at 16 MHz, will break anything that depends on cycle accuracy.
I assume running E-clock faster wouldn't break stuff but I don't know about timing sensitive stuff anyway.
It will break some stuff, but very few cases. Can't you reproduce the original E clock behavior? CPLD too small?
Bus grant works slightly diffently as well.
As long as it doesn't change the timing, it doesn't matter. If it does, at least some Blitter software will break. In theory, any change to the DMA timing might affect some copy protections as well, but I doubt there is in an actual software that depends on DMA being cycle accurate.

Damn those footprints - assuming it was a mis-configured one that is. The amount of times Eagle has incorrect footprints in libs.
