your processor's highest speed, such as 25,33, or 50 MHz. The
Slow option simulates an 8 MHz processor to provide
compatibility with older application programs.
At fast speed, your system can access memory faster, so your
programs work faster. Select Fast unless you are using an
application program that requires the slower speed. Check
your program manual.
You can also change the speed temporarily by entering a
keyboard command. See "Changing the Processor Speed" in
Chapter 3 for more information.

Setting the Booting Sequence

The booting sequence determines the order in which the
computer checks the drives when it looks for the operating
system.
For example, if you select A : then C, each time you turn on
the computer it checks drive A for an operating system diskette
and loads the operating system from that diskette. If drive A
does not contain an operating system diskette, the computer
loads the operating system from drive C. This is the default
setting because you may sometimes want to boot the computer
from a system diskette in drive A.
If you select C : only, the computer loads the operating
system from drive C and does not check drive A. This setting
allows the computer to load the operating system a little faster.
