Setting the Auto Speed Function
The Equity 386 can operate at 20 MHz or 8 MHz and you can select
either speed using the switch on the front panel of the computer. (See
“Selecting Execution Speed” in Chapter 4.) You’ll probably use the
faster speed for almost all your operations. Some copy-protected
application programs, however, require the computer to run at 8 MHz
while accessing the program on 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.
