I've run the K6-200 at 225 successfully on different boards that support
the 75MHz bus quite a few times, the FIC PA-2007 being one of them. What
you have to do is leave the multiplier at 3 but change the bus to 75.

In the PA-2007 you have to check to see which brand clock your particular
board has, there's three types/brands, and set the bus according to the
clock you have. There should be an appendix with this info towards the
back of the manual. You might need to give it a tad more voltage, I forget
what it calls for but let's say it's 2.8 you might need to set it at 2.9
for it run. Need less to say proper cooling is must.

Good luck,
