Acceleration, or Turbo mode, allows the Next to run at faster clock speeds than a standard Spectrum.

Acceleration is enabled via {{#ask: TBRegisterNumber::$06 }} ($06) and configured via {{#ask: TBRegisterNumber::$07 }} ($07), or via a user control. There are four potential settings:

  • Turbo off, or turbo on and $07 set to #00: 3.5 Mhz.
  • Turbo on, $07 set to #01: 7 Mhz. (Standard for Pentagon).
  • Turbo on, $07 set to #10: 14 Mhz.
  • Turbo on, $07 set to #11: 28 Mhz. Some features, such as Layer 2 drawing, are disabled at this speed.
