But overclocking is not the problem for udelay, it would err to the safe side. The problem would be a BUS having < 8 MHz, and since the days of 80286, they are hard to find. IMO having an option to set the bus speed
for those systems should be enough.


There might have been a few 386/20's clocking the ISA bus at ­­÷3
(6.67 MHz) rather than ÷2 (10 MHz) or ÷2.5 (8 MHz).
