    Alright, I have just about had it with my Sega Teradrive because due to its slow CPU (AMD N80L286-10/S 10Mhz) I can't play some of my favorite DOS games (Sloooow) :( .
    Dammit if I have it, I want to play it .

    I've been having good luck removing and installing smd chips lately, and I'm thinking of replacing the current CPU for the faster N80L286-16/S as it appears to be a good drop in replacement.
    So for those that have more experience I want to ask, all I have to do is substitute the actual CPU and clock ocillator correct? or is there more to it?.

    Here's a Teradrive motherboard photo near the CPU and OSC :

    Here are some more great Teradrive pics (Thanks to our very own Nemesis) :) :

    Any help is much appreciated!

    Thanks!
