About The Tiny Turbo XTra
The Tiny Turbo XTra Accelerator provides a way to upgrade
IBM PCs, XTs, and compatibles computing power to higher
speed levels of an IBM AT without compromising the either the
reliability of the original computer or the compatibility with
software and hardware.
The key to compatibility is the CPU switch between the 12MHz
80286 and the original processor used in your computer. The
Tiny Turbo XTra replaces the 8088, 8088-2, or V-20 processor in
your PC, but leaves the processor in the system for 100% com-
patibility. You can switch between your system processor and
the 80286 with Tiny Turbo XTra’s lower rear-panel switch.
The Tiny Turbo XTra comes equipped with 8K bytes of high-
speed cache memory. For the few applications that will not load
in a caching environment, the 80287 and the cache memory can
be switched off from the rear panel toggle switches.
The Tiny Turbo XTra lets you use a math chip for fast math-
ematical calculations. A 5, 8 or 10MHz 80287 can be installed on
the Tiny Turbo XTra in the socket provided.
