I got the SPEED program yesterday and I assume that 15 SPEED is
equivalent in effect to FAST (??) (I tried to assemble FAST, from the
TOOLKIT and it didn't work, yes all the checksums were correct).

Also, who determined that FAST causes the calc to use more power than
in normal mode?  How was that determined, or did the info come from
HP? What exactly does FAST do (I mean, does it directly affect OS
software or hardware operation) 

One more thing, can someone reccommend some good books on the HP28S,
especially those oriented toward the advanced programmer, and is there
any published info on the hardware internals? (like in a HP technical
journal perhaps)
