IFFY??? ARE YOU NUTS?? Prior to turboing my calculater I had absolutely
_NO
EXPERIENCE_ working with small electronics. Keith L. Miller's
instructions
are very detailed, and nearly risk-free if you're not a total moron. I
guess it's no fun to have a calculator that can give you a faster
computation
during a test and in turn more time to work on it, huh? Turboing is
legitimate
and so is optimizing zshell programs for it. Modifying a program to run
the
same speed all the time is not going to slow it down on a non-turbo
calculator.
Even if it does, both versions can be released separately, with a
_MINIMAL_
amount of extra work on the turbo version. Somebody mentioned something
about
using the interrupts, because they run the same speed on a turbo calc. I
don't
know if this is true, but I know there is an efficient way of making
this
all possible.
