Jon,
Yes you can over clock the 2600. But it requires a daughter board. Some
serious hardware hassle. You need the extra hardware because overclocking
mucks with the video timing.
For all you disbelievers, I had this working at one point. :P But I blew
up the 2600 while adding the IR remote detector board. Yeah, it looked
pretty much like Doc Brown's DeLorian...I think that thing had something
like 7 daughter boards running around inside doing one thing or another.
Combat was kinda weird running at 2 times the horizontal resolution.
And when I say blew up, I mean blew up. I dunno what happened, but I have
shrapnel scars :) After that, I got much better at keeping design notes...
