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, let's say 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:
You could name the batch file SLOW.BAT. Whenever you need
to run the SLOWDOWN program, type
The computer changes the processor speed to automatic and
starts the program.
Preparing the Hard Disk for Moving
If you need to move your computer to a new location, you may
want to run the HDSIT program provided on your Reference
diskette to protect the hard disk during the move.
HDSIT moves (or parks) the disk drive's read/write heads to a
region on the disk surface that does not contain data, and locks
them securely in position. This protects the hard disk from
being damaged if the computer is bumped accidentally.
Many hard disk drives, including all Epson drives,
automatically park their heads when you turn off the computer.
If your hard disk drive does not do this, or if you are not sure
that it does, be sure to run HDSIT.
If you have not already done so, copy the HDSIT.COM and
HDSIT.VER files from the Reference diskette to the root
directory on your hard disk. Then, when you want to run
HDSIT, type HDSIT and press [Enbrl.
and press Ibrlw].
