This question has nothing to do with the Handy Board
although it is a general question which I need some
help with.

Previous students at the school I attend left behind
a robot which they worked on. The microcontroller was
Intel's 80C196. The microcontroller is shot however,
so we need to get a replacement. It is offered in both
16 and 20 MHz versions. The original used in the robot
was the 16 MHz version, however we can only find the
20 MHz version now.

If I was to replace the 16 MHz controller with a
20 MHz version would it affect any of the programming?
What would some effects be if any?

Maybe direct help some of you big microcontroller
gurus would be best. (Fred, Randy,... hint,hint)  :)

Thanks in advance,

Hi Replacing the 16MHz version with the 20 Mhz CPU would affect only the timer speed of the internal timers. We are using the MC and MD versoon of the 196. Connected to those timers are about the following : -PWM 1 & 2 -Wavegenerator (if it has one) (...) (26 years ago, 28-Jun-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
