They cant. It's not the CPU that generates the internal clock in a 
303/606/808 - there's a separate clock circuit with RUN flip-flop.
The DIN socket interrupts these signals.

You need to be careful not to switch to between play and write modes 
on an 808 while it's running - it can cause spurious pattern 
selection changes, and other oddness.
The 808 sequencer is just a bit too limited for my taste, hence my 
decision to return to my clone.
