My family's 486 had a turbo button that switched between 33 and 66 MHz, with the frequency being shiwn on the case like a digital clock.

- caf 5y agoThat screen was just telling you whether the switch was on or off, though - the logic to decide what to display was just a series of jumpers in the case front. That's why some were configured to read |_| | | | | and | _ |_ |_| instead. It's not like it was actually measuring the bus frequency.
- alisonkisk 5y agoso? the power light isnt measuring your cpu either, it's correlated via the switch.
