 It's been many years since I had one of these, but I remember it had 3 speeds,
one of them (the fastest) was undocumented. You could press Ctrl-Alt-<key> to
change the speeds, and it would make a tone from the speaker similar to the
speed (higher the tone, the faster the speed). Something like ctrl-alt-S,
ctrl-alt-F and ctrl-alt-T (or something).
 Ours had a monochrome (Hercules) screen, but you could get CGA emulator TSR
software that would let you play CGA games on the mochrome screen.
