The Laser 128EX that I own boots to normal speed (1MHZ) or you can hold down
the "2" key to boot to 2.3MHZ or hold the "3" key down to run at 3.6MHZ. I
owned this computer for a couple of months before reading the manual to get
this info. Just for the sake of mentioning it the Laser 128 series will also
read and write to MAC drives and ext. HD through the ext drive port. It will
also boot an ext. 3.5 as slot 7 through the same port. and it has a built in
RAM card that holds up to 1MB. They are really cool computers and I'm truing
to find a second but it has to be the EX or better.
