While working part time at a computer store part of my job was 
assembling clone PC's from the major units.  One week the store had 
a special on 4.77MHz XT's.  Problem was the shipment of motherboards
hadn't arrived.  So the boss had me assemble 4.77MHz machines using
Turbo motherboards.  To cripple the turbo mode I placed a jumper on
the motherboard where the speed switch normally connected.  I wonder
if any of the customers ever found out that they could have a machine
that we were selling for $100 more just by pulling the jumper?
