Firstly - How This Program Came About I have many games that although work on the Mega-STE and work in 16Mhz Cache ON will not work with programs such as the Control Panel, but instead need to be autobooted form a clean (inside and outside :}) computer. This caused great problems and stopped me form using 16MHz for the games (and occasional serious programs) I wanted. Eventually I managed to find a PD program to change the processor speed. However this had problems. The first being that the program only allowed choice at the desktop OR it meant using a different program for each speed. SO I set about investigating the address and ways that the processor speed could be changed. This program is the version of a program written to address these problems and suit my needs, I hope it suits your own. Improvements from V1.0a * Quick GEM Alertbox Selection if loaded from the Desktop * Key Menu Selection Available for Autobooters * Current Processor speed indicated Bug Fixes from V1.0a * There were no known bugs to fix Current Bugs in V2.0a * None that are known about How to use this program: From the Desktop: Simply Run the program from any folder or drive. The alertbox that comes up has three buttons: 16Mhz C = 16Mhz Processor Speed, Cache ON 16Mhz = 16Mhz Processor Speed, Cache OFF 8Mhz = 8Mhz Processor Speed, NO CACHE The currently highlighted (bold) button indicates the speed that the processor is currently set at. To select a new speed simply click on the desired speeds button To stick with the same speed, press return this selects the currently highlighted button (you could click on it), which is the current processor speed. From the Auto Folder: This is slightly different. Upon loading the program has a simple numerical menu. choose the speed you would like, or quit by pressing the number of your choice. Your current processor speed is shown below the choices. WORDS OF WARNING: This program in no way checks the type of computer it is running on. This MAY cause a problem for non-MEGA STEs. It may well crash your computer. It is suggested that if you aren't using a MEGA STE you don't run the program. FALCONs and TTs - I haven't the foggiest whether this program will run or not, it may or it may not. Testing: This program has been tested on a MEGA STE, TOS 2.05 If you have a different computer (eg. TOS 2.06 Mega STE, or a FALCON, TT etc.) and you test this program and functions Ok. then register (its free), and I will add your computer, and name (if you don;'t want your name noting then say so.) to the list, for all future releases.

NB. If in the above you said that it didn't work properly, this may be due to it not being run on a MEGA STE and as such I can't do anything about it, sorry You can also E-mail me on JH2411@Delphi.com.uk, I'd be happy to chat with ANY Atari enthusiast.
