i want to enable Turbo per Default on my Faraday Clone (Proton FE010A) based Turbo XT,
any one knows how i can do it ?
Is there a Turbo Program ? would be cool if i can do it over Autoxec.bat instead of pressing each reset Strg+Alt+ "+".
My old XT3 Turbo has a "speed.com" file that can be manually run or called from a batch file instead of using the keyboard method. There may be a generic utility that will work on your XT. Or you might be able to write a program to do it.....

Fit a turbo switch. Bound to be a connector on the mobo. Also you may just be able to use a jumper on that connector.
There's a glitch in the matrix.

Apparently 32-bit is dead and nobody likes P4s. Of course, as always, I'm open to correction...😉
dont know what chipset the Proton FE010A is based on but if its anything like the FE2010A , you could do it via bat file by passing data via debug to the correct register
1Configuration Register 2The Configuration Register (I/O Address 0x63) is a write only register that is used for FE2010A configuration. If bit 3 is written, bits 0 - 4 of this register and the switch register are locked in that they may not be written to. This lock is removed by a system reset. 3 4Data Bit Function 50 Disable Parity Checker 61 Enable 8087 NMI 72 On Board RAM size (bit 0) 83 lock register (bits 0-4) 94 On Board RAM size (bit 1) 105 Fast Mode (0 RAM wait states) 116 7.15 MHz CPU clock 127 9.54 MHz CPU clock
And a video of Adrian's Digital Basement doing something like this on a Compaq, the address would be different but I am sure the same idea applies. https://youtu.be/GMrCf0w4BUU?t=2255
