Epson 10020, 100 Using Your Computer, Chapter, Changing the Operating Speed

Chapter 2

Using Your Computer

This chapter covers the following basic procedures for using your computer:

Changing the operating speed

Using special keys on the keyboard

Interrupting a command or program

Resetting and turning off the computer

Using disks and disk drives.

Changing the Operating Speed

Your computer can operate at two speeds: 4.77 MHz or

10 MHz. At 10 MHz, the computer performs all tasks faster, and you will probably use this speed for almost everything you do. Certain application programs, however, have specific timing requirements for diskette access and can run only at the slower speed. See the manual for your application program to determine if this is the case.

Use the CPU switch on the front panel to change the speed. To access the switch, open the cover below the disk drives; press down slightly on the tab to open the cover. Move the switch left for 4.77 MHz or right for 10 MHz.
