Operation
There are no complicated procedures to learn to operate the Tiny
Turbo XTra. Once the Tiny Turbo XTra is installed, your system
will work just the way it did before, only faster.
To assure full compatibility, the Tiny Turbo XTra has CPU
Control and Cache Control
❐
CPU Control
It is unnecessary in most cases to switch your Tiny Turbo XTra
out of 80286 mode. A limited number of speed-dependent
programs will not work in the 80286 mode. Some games operate
faster than normal, and old copy protection schemes may not
work. Located in the lower position on the rear panel the CPU
switch provides for switching between the 80286 of the Tiny
Turbo XTra and the processor of the PC.
In the up position you are running on the Tiny Turbo XTra 12
MHz 80286 CPU; in the down position you are running on the
PC’s 8088, 8088-2, or V-20 CPU.
The CPU Switch acts like a reset switch; when you flip the
switch, the system waits two seconds and does a cold boot. This
is a useful feature if a program crashes and pressing Crtl-Alt-Del
won’t cause a warm boot. Simply flip the switch back and forth
to reset the system. This is better for the PC than flipping the
power switch.
Note:
Toggling the Tiny Turbo XTra’s CPU Switch causes your
system to reboot. Save all data before toggling between the 80286 and
processor modes.
