Well the Time$ function in turbo basic is set for the european 8-bits at
50khz instead of the normal; 60khz for us americans so the clock runs a bit
fast..
I never did get the 850 interface to work with turbo basic either..
Had i been able to I never had used basic XE and found out how good it really
is. It precompiles the addresses which makes your program extremly fast..
Basic XE ias the ONLY basic for the 8bit computer series.
Although i would have liked it if they put it in a "super cart" so the
didnt have to be loaded off  disk..
