On my Colt, there's a key sequence to change the speed.  It might be
<CTRL><SHIFT>T for Turbo and <CTRL><SHIFT>S for Slow or some similar
combination.  It's been long enough that I forget the exact keys.  There
might be an <ALT> in there, too, like <CTRL><ALT>T.  On my machine, if
you get it right, the computer trills a beep at one of two tones - the
higher tone indicates the higher clock speed (CPU delay loop used to
good effect, no doubt).
