To display the current CPU speed, type
ES P E ED
only and
press Enter. You see the following:
<+>
: Speed Up
16.0 MHz <->
: Speed Down
<Esc> : Exit
To change the speed when you see this display, press the +
or - key; then press Esc to exit.
The processor speed you set remains in effect until you
change it using the ESPEED program again, a keyboard
command, or the SETUP program; or until you press the
RESET
button or turn off the computer.
Entering the ESPEED command in a batch file
You may want to run the ESPEED program by including the
command in a batch file. For example, if you have a program
called SLOWDOWN which requires a slower processor speed,
you could include the following commands in a batch file to
start the SLOWDOWN program:
ESPEED L
SLOWDOWN
You could name the batch file SLOW.BAT. Whenever you
need to run the SLOWDOWN program, insert the program
diskette in drive A. Then type S
LOW
and press Enter. The
computer changes the speed to low and starts the
SLOWDOWN program.
See your MS-DOS Reference Manual for instructions on
creating and using batch files.
