- Turbo Keyboard for the IBM-PC/AT
-
-
- If you have an IBM AT and would like to speed up the keyboard
- response, then this program is for you. Response can be increased
- by 300 percent! This program will make word processing or text
- editing cursor movement fly on the screen.
-
- The program takes advantage of the way IBM designed the new,
- more flexible, AT keyboard interface. Part of the flexibility
- is that the user can speed up or slow down the keyboard.
-
- When you start the AT, the default keyboard configuration is
- set to .5 seconds of delay and a typematic rate of 10 characters
- per second.
-
- The delay rate determines how long a key must be held down
- before it starts to repeat. The typematic rate sets the repeat
- frequency once the delay requirements have been met. On the AT,
- the delay is capable of a range from .25 to 1.25 seconds, and
- the typematic rate can range from 30 to 2 characters per second.
-
- To use the turbo keyboard program all you have to do is
- include the program execution statement in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
- Or, at any time, just execute the turbokey program with the desired
- rates you want to use.
-
- The parameters for typematic is from A to Z. Where A is the
- fastest at 30 characters per second and Z is the slowest at
- 2 characters per seconds. For delay, the parameters are from
- 1 to 4, where 1 is the fastest at .25 seconds delay and 4 is the
- slowest at 1.25 delay.
-
- For example, suppose you want the fastest combination
- possible, then do the following:
-
- TURBOKEY A 1
-
- This will set the keyboard to 30 characters per second and .25
- seconds delay.
-
- If you like a very slow response, then do the following:
-
- TURBOKEY Z 4
-
- This will set the keyboard rate to 2 characters per seconds, and
- a start delay of 1.25 seconds. "The Valium response".
-
- By adjusting the A thru Z and the 1 thru 4 parameters
- you can set the keyboard to your needs at any time.
-
- If you want a free copy of this program bring a formatted
- floppy diskette to the Computations Consulting Office, Trailer 2106,
- and copy the program to your floppy. If you have any questions call
- me at 2-4609.
