[Roy Phillips]

Thanks to Dave and Randall - - yes I did discover the "change-over" 
instructions, and hope to make the change over the week-end.

Installation of Option 010 is basically removing capacitor C8 and
reinstalling it into the holes designated for C100.  Install the 10544
oscillator into the receptacle, secure with appropriate screws and you're
all set.  C8 and C100 are located very close to the standard (low-stability)
crystal at the rear of the main board.
