Unfortunately, got hit with a strange question today, and couldn't come up with an obvious answer, so... User asked how to get the accelerated //c+ to run in a normal (1 MHz) speed, basically so he can play some old 3.3 games on it... They claimed to have gone through the manual with no sign of how to do it - and unfortunately I don't have access to a manualset for the c+, so ... I'd really appreciate it if someone out there could get an answer back to me, this guy is getting pretty annoying... Thanks! Take care- Bruce Howells, beh@bu-pub.bu.edu | engnbsc@buacca (BITNet) Just a random Engineering undergrad...

Just press ESC right away when you turn on the power, and it will say "Normal" on the screen briefly. Then it's in 1 MHz mode until you power down. -- David A.

The speed of the IIc Plus is actually changed whenever you press control-reset. If you booted in "Normal" mode and press control-reset for some reason, it will switch to 4 MHz mode. If you press control-escape-reset for some reason, it will switch to 1 MHz ("fast") mode. You can actually switch speeds like this without rebooting (like, from within BASIC.SYSTEM), if you're so inclined. I personally would reboot if I were you because pressing control-reset at spurious times isn't all that sound an idea. At any rate, you don't have to power down. -- ============================================================================ Matt Deatherage, Apple Computer, Inc. | "The opinions represented here are Developer Technical Support, Apple II | not necessarily those of Apple Group.

I don't have a //c+ in front of me but I thought that one of the buttons that were used on the //c for 80/40 or keyboard had been redesignated for this. If I remember correctly one is now used for volume control and the other for the speed. ******************************************************************** * * * bob church bchurch@oucsace.cs.ohiou.edu * * * * If economics isn't an "exact" science why do computers crash * * so much more often than the stock market? * * bc * ********************************************************************
