Selecting The Operating Speed - Epson Equity IIe User Manual

Selecting the Operating Speed

The Equity IIe can operate at two speeds: 8 MHz or 12 MHz. At
12 MHz, the computer accesses memory faster than at 8 MHz.
You will probably use this speed for almost everything you do.
However, certain application programs have specific timing
requirements for diskette access and can run only at the slower
speed. See the manual for your application program to
determine if this is the case.

operating speed, but do not change it while you are running a
program. Complete your current operation, exit the program
