The speed setting remains in effect until you press the RESET button or turn off the computer, or until you change it again using the Setup program, another keyboard command, or the ESPEED program, described below.

Using the ESPEED Program

ESPEED provides an easy way to change the processor speed if your application program does not recognize the m key commands or if you want to include the program command in a batch file.

The ESPEED program is on the Reference diskette. If you have a hard disk drive, copy the file ESPEED.EXE from your Reference diskette onto your hard disk-if you have not already done so-and run the program from there. If you do not have a hard disk, insert your Reference diskette in drive A and log onto drive A before you enter the command to start the program.

To run the ESPEED program, type the following at the MS-DOS command prompt and press I:

ESPEED

You see the following messages:

Usage: ESPEED[/H] [/L] [/A]

/High

set High

speed (no auto)

/Low

set Low speed (no auto)

/Auto

set Auto

speed

These messages tell you the switches you should use to set the speed to high, low, or automatic. At the MS-DOS prompt, type the ESPEED command again and include the appropriate switch, such as the following:

ESPEED /A
