I was recently asked this question and haven't been able to find a
good answer:
Is there any way to change the clock speed in an IBM PS/2 model 30?
Either a hardware or software solution would be acceptable.
The problem: the PS/2 runs at 8 MHz and so software (games, educational
programs) that was designed to run at 4.77 MHz is too fast. (I guess the
guy who asked me this question is a frustrated asteroids player)
It has been suggested that he could program the 1C interupt, which is
called every now and then by the OS (18 times/sec?), to delay for a set
ammount of time. Does anyone know how to do this???
Does anyone have any other suggestions???
Please send email, and I'll post a summary. Thanks!
