[comp.sys.atari.st] 8/16 MHz speed switch

larserio@ifi.uio.no (LarsErikOsterud) (06/18/91)

8/16 MHz Speedswitch for MEGA STE or Hypercache 16 MHz card
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
On request from many users I have extracted a small part of
the norwegian keyboard driver I have made.  The new program
takes up 522 bytes when installed (incl. basepage and env.)
and has the following (as requested) build-in functions:

- Switches to 16 MHz with cache when started (put in AUTO)
- [CTRL][ALT][-] (on num-pad) switches to 8 MHz NO cache
- [CTRL][ALT][+] (on num-pad) switches to 16 MHz WITH cache
- Speed is confirmed with 2 (8 MHz) or 3 (16 MHz) bells

- To get a character NOT on the keyboard, hold down [ALT],
  type in ASCII-number (decimal) on num-pad, release [ALT]

Uploaded to atari.binaries today (don't know when it's out)

Lars: could you release an autofolder prog that does only the ALT-ascii
number feature as described above. I've just got a normal 1040 st and
i'm not sure what the other features of your program would do (ie: i cannot
change the clock speed - would it crash the 1040ST??)
the other feature is present on PC's and is something i wish the ST ALWAYS
had in it's roms!

Just to clearify....  SPEED.PRG works ON all STs....  The speed change bit
for MEGA STE or ST with Hypercache takes only 10 or 20 bytes, so if you
want the ALT key-pad stuff you can still use it in your AUTO-folder !!
