At high speed, it can access memory faster, so your programs work faster. YOU 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 MHZ, 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
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.
EMS Size
This option lets you specify how much of your total extended memory you want the computer to use as expanded memory. Expanded memory can be used by application programs conforming to the Lotus®/Intel®/Microsoft® Expanded Memory Specification (LIM EMS), such as Windows/286. The Equity 286 PLUS is compatible with version 4.0 of the
LIM EMS.
