IIRC, that's not strictly correct.
The motherboard on the 345 has an empty socket for the rock and the
"L-shaped daughterboard" provides its own oscillator (probably 100Mhz
rock), and when you pull the daughterboard to put the 040 in, you lose
the oscillator and are required to put a 50/66 Mhz one in the empty
socket.
