That TURBO button was great on my 286, but I spent hours starring at the motherboard, and trying to plug it into the right spot when we got a 386. I was rather upset when somebody told me that 386's didn't have TURBO support. I guess the real problem was that I was aware that we got a new motherboard. I just remember that the computer disappeared for a few days, and I couldn't play Rogue and Bard's Tale. It also used to disappear for a while then come back with twice the hard drive space.
