Clock generation is handled with crystal oscillators. Regardless of the size (DIP-8 or DIP-14) the pinout is the same.

CPU Clock
The main CPU in NerdConsole operates at 6.00 MHz.
Audio Clock
The audio system in NerdConsole operates at 3.58 MHz. There is an independent clock crystal for this instead of doing clock division of the main CPU clock which would be less accurate and difficult.
This is one of the Integrated Circuit Chips in NerdConsole.
