There are three ways to change the processor speed:

Run the Setup program on your Reference diskette

Enter a keyboard command

Run the ESPEED program.

If you frequently use programs that require the processor to

operate at low speed or require the automatic speed change
when your computer is accessing a diskette, use the Setup
program to change the processor speed. See Chapter 2 for

instructions.

If you use these programs only occasionally, you should use the

keyboard commands or the ESPEED program (described below)

to change the processor speed.

speed automatically when the computer is
