If X1 which is most often 40MHz is CPU oscillator, then what is X2 50MHz oscillator in the corner edge of the Warp Engine used for? 
 
And if according to <a href="http://amiga.resource.cx/exp/warpengine" target="_blank">http://amiga.resource.cx/exp/warpengine</a> 
 
SCSI chip is &quot;NCR 53C710 @ 40 MHz&quot; is it somehow converting that 40MHz speed from X2 50MHz oscillator? It can't be taking that from X1, because there are also 28MHz and 33MHz versions of Warp Engine which would not be able to produce assumed 40MHz for SCSI from lower clock X1.
