Epson Equity 286 PLUS - Manual (Page 46)

At high speed, it can access memory faster, so your programs
work faster.
Y OU should use high speed for everything you do
unless you are using an application program that requires the
slower speed. Some programs (especially older ones) have
specific timing requirements when accessing diskettes. Check
your application program manual.
You can also set the processor to change speed automatically.
This enables the computer to switch to low speed whenever it
needs to access a diskette drive but run at high speed for all
other operations.
Select High speed for 12 MHz, Low speed for 6 MH Z ,
or Auto speed to have the computer switch to low speed
automatically when necessary.
Note
You may not want to use &automatic setting for certain
copy-protected programs. See “changing the Processor
Speed” in Chapter 4 for more information.
In addition to selecting the default operating speed through
SETUP, you can change the speed temporarily by giving a
keyboard command or by running the ESPEED program. See
“Changing the Processor Speed” in Chapter 4 for more
information.
