Changing the Processor Speed

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

speed of your microprocessor) or slow (8 MHZ). At fast speed,

the computer performs all tasks faster. The slow speed is

available for compatibility with some copy-protected programs

or application programs with specific timing requirements.

Some copy-protected programs also require you to leave a key

disk-the diskette that contains the copy protection-in the

diskette drive. To use a copy-protected program, you can

change the speed to slow to access the diskette and return it to

fast speed when you are finished.

When your computer

operating at fast

speed, the SPEED light

the

front

panel is on When the computer is operating at

slow speed, the light is off.

You can change the processor speed temporarily by entering

one of the following commands from the numeric keypad on

your key board:

To select slow speed, press Ctrl Alt and then press the -key

on the numeric keypad. This turns off the speed light.

To select fast speed, press Ctrl Alt and then press t

on the

numeric

keypad. The speed

light comes on.

Note

You can use the co

mmands

listed above while you are

running a

program. However, if the program uses one of

these commands for another function, you cannot use it to

change the processor speed.

The speed setting remains

in effect until you reset your

computer or turn it off.
