4.2 Keyboard Selectable Options:
The following modes of operation
are activated whenever the CONTROL and RESET (CTL-RESET) keys are pressed
at the same time and this key sequence is followed by:
ESCape RocketChip runs at 1MHz (Normal Apple speed)
RETURN RocketChip returns to 5MBz or previously set RocketSpeed
of 50KHz to 5MHz.
Space Bar RocketChip runs immediately without changing speed.
Open-Apple Cold boot (Key does not need to be held down)
CONTROL-Z Cold boot for Apple II and II Plus systems.
CONTROL—D Deletes 2 second pause after CTL-RESET
CONTROL-F Restores 2 second pause after CTL-RESET (Key sequence is:

Apple II & II Plus: CONTROL—RESET F—REPEAT)
4.3 Software Speed Selection: The RocketChip speed can be also be
changed by using software commands in Applesoft BASIC using Applied
Engineering's Transwarp protocol.
To get RocketSpeed(5MHz) Type: POKE 49268,0 <RETURN>
To get Apple speed(lMHz) Type: POKE 49268,1 <RETURN>
4.4 Configuration Software: The configuration disk allows the user
to modify the features of the RocketChip. This disk provides ProDOS files
(Front side) and DOS 3.3 files (Back side) . The configuration set by the
user is retained until the power is turned off. The following files can
be run by typing:
] BRUN Filename <RETURN> in DOS 3.3 [OR]
] -Filename <RETURN> [OR] -Dir/Filename <RETURN> in PrODOS [OR]
] 10 PRINT CHR$(4), “BRUN Filename” <RETURN> in BASIC
Filenames: SPEED.5MHZ/4MHZ/3MHZ/2MHz/1MHz/500KHz/250KHz/l00KHz/50KHz
AUDIO.NORMAL/SILENT/DisTORTED/MUSIC/HIFI (Selecting MUSIC
or HIFI will slow down the RocketChip and game play)
PAUSE.AT.RESET (Restore 2 second pause after CTL—RESET)
NOPAUSE.RESET (Delete 2 second pause after CTL-RESET)
