Note

You may not want to use the automatic setting for certain copy-protected programs. See “Changing the Processor Speed” in Chapter 4 for more information.

This section describes how to set the processor speed in the Setup program. You can also change the speed using keyboard commands or by running the ESPEED program. See “Changing the Processor Speed” in Chapter 4 for more details.
