   E1 and E2 above the 32 MHz oscillator are dealing with the clock, but   
   only allow two configurations - synchronous where the FPU uses the 40   
   MHz CPU*2 clock, or asynchronous where it has its own 32 MHz source (if   
   the schematic is correct). I don't see a "jumper" in the CPU*2 path for   
   the 386.
