ADDITIONAL NOTE TO THE FOURTH EDITION OF THE MZB-3 MANUAL 1982
Throughout this manual mention is made of the caution which must be employed when operating the MZB-3 card at 4.0 MHz.
However the recommendation now for Interak 1, and indeed the majority of all other uses, is to operate the card at 4.0 MHz, and to dispense entirely with any modifications to lower the frequency.
Operational experience has confirmed the designer's original contention that 100% satisfactory results can be obtained at this frequency. This is readily explained when it is realised that modern memory devices are vastly superior to the types which were generally available some years ago.
Therefore it is suggested that the inconvenience and reduced performance which is suffered when the card is modified for half-speed operation need no longer be tolerated, and thus the card should simply be assembled in the standard way for 4.0 MHz operation.
