There is indeed a tos program in addition to an accessary that will
allow you to change the clock rate of your Turbo16 board from 8 to
16 Mz. The program/tos version can either be run from the autofolder
or the desktop.  However, your board must be properly wired/connected
for these programs/accessary to work.  There is a terminal on the
board (Turbo16) that must have a jumper from I believe pin 39 of the
Yamaha sound chip installed.  Without that jumper , your board can
only run at 16Mz.  I will check to see if programs have been uploaded
to any of the archive sites.
