Turbo Mode Reply to this post

Is it there any way to *KNOW* if Sprinter is in TURBO mode?
I know the Bios Call (Bios v2.12.251) to SET turbo on/off, but how do I do to GET the current state of Turbo?

Also: Is there any documentation on the new/revised BIOS calls for Bios v3.xx.yyy?

More: How can I access Sprinter serial and parallel ports' lines low level?

(Sorry for being such an asking pest...)

Thanks!

Marcelo.

You will know which mode is ON if counting steps between interruptions.
And we think only Spectrum Configuration needs possibility of switching of Turbo/ Not Turbo.
May be we should delete it from future version of firmware?

Full functions list of BIOS 3.00 will be published soon.

also, in spectrum basic or tr-dos you can listen to the pitch when pressing keys,
high pitch = 21MHz
low pitch = 3.5MHz
