The original SLOWDOWN (SLOWDOWN.COM, SLOWDOWN.ASM, SLOWDOWN.DOC) was written
by David K. Goodwin for use with an 8mhz 8086 such as the AT&T PC6300. It
will also slow down other processors such as 8mhz or 6mhz 8088's.
The AT however, is a little different animal. We found that SLOWDOWN worked
somewhat on the 286, but that even at the "90%" level (which would STOP an
8mhz 8088, probably), the speed was still "too fast".
Here is a modified that works for the AT, We believe that a percentage
of 42 (please read his DOC file) will approximate a 4.77mhz processor.
If you have a game program that utilizes the same interrupt scheme as is used
in this program, there may be a little "unevenness" to the game motion.
Someone smarter and with more time to spend may be able to correct this.
For those who are technically oriented, all we did was take bytes 57 and 58 of
the COM file and change them from E0 00 to 02 00.
We renamed the COM file to SLOW286.COM (which seemed appropriate). We hope
this does the job for you. Have fun!
Thanks to the Generic Software Place in Indianapolis for this program.
