Hi Reece,

 RI> you were right of course about the CAPS LOCK key

:-)

 RI> key but it is possible to use the RGB screen from the 64 mode.

Yup, but that is another topic completely.

 RI> RGB Char Set. In it the caps lock is used to toggle the 2Mhz/1Mhz

Thats what I said, but I repeat, this *isn't* a funtion of the key
itself, it is just that the programer coded the program to acheive this
effect..  he/she could've used the 40/80, ESC, TAB, ALT or any other
key to produce the same effect.

 RI> speeds.  You also made mention of a prog.
 RI> that used the fast mode from
 RI> the 64 mode,  Another prog. is Gunship.

Yeah, there are a few of them around.

 RI> Of interest is the fact that
 RI> with the RGB kit the recomendation is to
 RI> goto 1Mhz for disk operations.

This should be more than a recomendation because it is *essential*

Even the C128's Kernal routines switch back to 1Mhz mode for disk
operations. Failure to do so causes all sorts of buss conflicts,
ranging from bad loads/saves to complete system lock up.

Cheers
Rod
