SPEEDUP
                          Disk/CPU speed up programs

  REBOOT.SYS should be installed FIRST in your CONFIG.SYS file like this: 
    DEVICE=REBOOT.SYS

  Warm boots (CTL-ALT-DEL) on some computers (especially the Tandy 1000) will 
be much shorter. Your disk drives will be a little quieter and slightly 
faster. It also modifies the DMA (Direct Memory Access) chip to refresh your 
memory less often. This gives about a 6% speed increase on my Tandy 1000SX in 
turbo mode. Tandy 1000, 1000A, 1000EX, and 1000HX users MUST have the DMA chip 
in your computer for this program to work. It comes with the memory upgrade 
board.

  REBOOT.ASM is the source file for REBOOT.SYS. The program is slightly 
modified from the original as given in the 5/87 issue of 80 Micro. 

  STEPRATE.COM is a program that allows you to change or find out your floppy 
disk stepping rate. With no commands, it returns the rate. To set it, type 
STEPRATE [3][6][9][12]  where the number is the desired stepping rate in 
milliseconds (ms). 

  STEPRATE.ASM is the source code for STEPRATE.COM. 

  SPEEDER.COM allows to set/reset the refresh rate. Type 'SPEEDER +' for fewer 
refreshes (faster computer), or 'SPEEDER -' for the normal refresh rate. 

  SPEEDER.ASM is the source code for SPEEDER.COM.

  In this 12/4/87 version of the ARC file, REBOOT is now much smaller than 
before. Also, all .ASM files are now (hopefully) in a format compatible with 
the Microsoft Macro Assembler.
