Space Shuttle
Williams, 1984my space shuttle suddenly started working at about half speed. Everything works, just slow, including lights and speech. Obviously sounds like a clock issue but the crystal is humming along at the expected 3.5ghz and I checked both lines at the cpu and sound cpu. Also the interrupt looks appropriate at just under a kilo hz. Any ideas what to check next? This one has me stumped.

The speech codec chip has a "clock" pin you could check. I am not sure what to expect to see there besides comparing to a working game. Speech clock is probably controlled by a PIA chip.
