This is a followup to the list I posted a while back on NEC MultiSpeed
software compatibility.

Thanks go to ur-tut!aptr and ecsvax!wahec for contributing to the list.

Works OK

WordPerfect 4.2
	[an interesting glitch turned up with WP4.2.  If you use Aln/Flush
	(which right aligns text) and then try to view it with Reveal Codes
	(Alt-F3), you will see an endless stream of revealed codes and the
	NEC kybd, including Ctrl-Alt-Del, is locked out.  I called WP Inc. and
	they seemed to think it was a problem with the high CPU speed rather
	than a problem with the Phoenix BIOS.  I have not found any other
	problem with WP]

Doesn't work
============
Digitalk Smalltalk V
	[Interesting problem with Smalltalk.  As soon as you see the initial
	screen start to come up, a message of some kind flashes on the screen
	then the NEC powers itself off.  Not a lot of fun.]
Microsoft Windows 1.03
Microsoft Word 3.0
	[psivax!tommie suggested that I switch to slow speed (4.77MHz) before
	booting Word and then go to high speed (9.54MHz).  Will give it a try
	the next time I can borrow Word again]
Norton Commander
