= SUMMARY =

Some IBM XT-compatible computers with a turbo feature may have disk access errors, printer timeout errors, and random hangs when running Word. This is probably because the turbo feature allows the computer to utilize the faster clock speeds of 6 MHz, 8 MHz, and 10 MHz. These faster clock speeds are not as IBM compatible as the normal nonturbo clock speeds.

Disengaging the turbo feature and running the computer in normal mode generally resolves all of the above problems.
