Here's the latest figures, now running a 20Mhz crystal on ICA 7 which is stable at 406.2 MHash with ASIC powered externally with 1.7V @ 3.96A. ICA 6 is the stock reference running at 333MHash.

I've bought a few crystals and heatsinks too many so if anyone wants me to upgrade their units to either 16 or 20 mhz speeds I'd be happy to do it. 

2 day maximum working turnaround and high quality soldering done with an SMD rework station with all components, heatsinks and external power supplies (if necessary) included.  Please PM me if interested.
