Your computer’s processor can operate at two speeds: high or

low. High speed is 25 MHz and low speed simulates 8 MHz. The

processor is set to operate at high speed (where it can access

memory faster) unless you change it to low or set the speed to

change automatically (when necessary).

When the computer is running at high speed, the 

TURBO

indicator on the front panel is illuminated.

You should use high speed for almost everything you do since

your programs work faster on high speed. However, certain

application programs have specific timing requirements for

diskette access and can run only at a slower speed; check your

application program manual.

When you set the processor to change speed automatically, the

computer switches to low whenever it needs to access a diskette

drive and runs at high for all other operations.

This section describes how to set the processor speed in the

Setup program. You can also change the speed using keyboard

commands or by running the ESPEED program. See “Changing
the Processor Speed” in Chapter 4 for more details.

Follow these steps to set your processor speed:

At the main Setup menu, highlight
