Setting the Auto Speed Function

The Equity 386SX can operate at 16 MHz or simulate an

8 MHz operating speed. The 16 MHz speed is high and the simulated 8 MHz speed is low. You can use the CPU SPEED switch on the computer’s front panel to select either speed. (See “Selecting the Operating Speed” in Chapter 3.)

You’ll probably use high speed for almost all your operations. Some copy-protected application programs, however, require the computer to run at the low speed while accessing the

program on a diskette. These programs also usually require you-- to leave a key disk-the diskette that contains the copy

protection-in the diskette drive. If you use a copy-protected program often, you may want to enable the Auto speed function.
