Epson 386/33 PLUS User Manual

When you install MS-DOS, it creates an AUTOEXEC.BAT file

for you, which you can modify or replace as described above.

Be sure to name the file AUTOEXEC.BAT and store it in the

root directory of the hard disk or diskette from which you load

MS-DOS.

See your MS-DOS manuals for more information about creating

and using batch files.

Your computer’s processor can operate at two speeds: fast

(33 MHz) and slow (simulated 11 MHz). At fast speed, the

computer can access memory faster. This is the default setting

unless you change the speed to slow with SETUP or the

ESPEED program or set it to change automatically.

When your computer is operating at fast speed, the TURBO

light on the front panel is on. It is off when the computer is

operating at slow speed.

You should use fast speed for almost everything you do

because your programs will work faster. However, certain

application programs have specific timing requirements and

can run only at the slower speed. See your software manual to

determine if this is the case.

Some copy-protected programs require the computer to run at

slow speed while accessing the program on a diskette. These

programs also usually require you to leave a 

disk-the one

that contains the copy protection-in the drive. If you use a

copy-protected program often, you may want to set your

processor speed to change automatically to slow speed when

accessing the diskette and return to fast when it is finished.
