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.
