i honestly don't know how it worked. it just changed the mhz display up front from 66 to 99.

that's no excuse, i'm only 23 and I still managed to get a full 90's internet experience in. i have fond memories of playing Doom on my dad's lap when I was 5 with my mom disapprovingly shaking her head off to the side and look at me now

iirc it was actually the opposite -- some old games and programs relied on the cpu clock for timing, so a brand new computer would make the programs run too fast. the turbo button changed the multiplier and made the processor run slower, or in some cases even just tied it up with junk instructions

i suppose it's possible some companies wired it up so that it defaulted to slow mode and turbo on was regular speed though

That makes sense because I remember some parts of the Commander Keen games were timed by cycle instead of actual clock time, and if you ran it on a computer that was too fast, it made poo poo impossible.

my dad had a case with a turbo button and the mhz display right up until like 2005, he kept finding ways to connect the mhz display to modern (at the time) CPU's that ran at like 2.5GHz and so just pegged the thing at 99 all the time. he likes lots of lights and blinky things.

guys this thread is making me realize how loving weird and broken my dad is thanks
