The PCCchip2 runs at half the MPU speed on the MVME177P.
For example, an MVME177P with a 50 MHz MPU will run the
PCCchip2 at 25 MHz.

The Prescaler Clock Adjust Register is an 8-bit read/write register located
at address $FFF42015. It is required to adjust the prescaler so that it
maintains a 1 MHz clock source for the tick timers, regardless of what
