    TLDR: Centris 660av came with 68LC040, not full '040 chip and it's acting weird. Looking for advice. Full story: I've recently acquired a Centris 660av for a friend of mine and noticed something interesting while getting the machine set up. This 660av came with a 68LC040 chip (the 25MHz one)...
