   The free running speed is a great feature. I also like that the feature   
   that virtual disks speed up too. I often use fullspeed mode when   
   compiling. For example MC what take 40 minutes on the real machine takes   
   2 seconds in the emulator (P4 3.2GHz).   
      
   On model I it is possible to overcome the "keybounce" by using the rom   
   keyboard routine, it doesn't repeat and DOSPLUS/LDOS seems   
   instantaneous... the only problem then is listings that are longer than   
   the screen.   
      
   It would probably be easy to make similar keyboard drivers for model III/4.   
      
   I write "keybounce" because it actualy isn't. It is just the repeat   
   timing that works in microseconds instead of milliseconds. :-)
