There were some of the clones (I seem to recall) that had a front panel high/low speed switch; at low speed it throttled the CPU to allow some CPU speed sensitive games to play correctly.
That was to turn on and off the TURBOCHARGER that was used to speed them up. I was never quick enough to play the early LODERUNNER with the turbocharger enabled. Could they have saved some power by using a SUPERCHARGER, driven by the waste computrons?
