Try the package "v07i130-131 scrutils.zoo" recently posted to c.b.i.p.
It contains a utility `reftest', that will find the best RAM refresh
time for your chips, and create a small utility `qfresh.com', that will
set this new refresh time, ending up with an apparent higher speed.
You can also use this utility to set a *smaler* refresh time, thus slowing
down everything.
Just an idea.
