[Coco] Nitros9 high speed mode

[Becker, Gary]

Paul

Correct me if I am wrong, but there are separate disks for booting with
a 6309 versus a 6809. Is that what you are asking?

In that case, is the high speed mode turned on "automatically"?  And how
would I be able to tell?  

Or if not turned on automatically, what command or system call is used
to
tell Nitros to use the high speed mode?  And what command or system call
is
used to confirm that it has been done?
