I have a turbo button ...

It's on my keyboard, which is this old Key Pro thing with all these great programmable buttons, an 8-way d pad, and a built in standalone calculator (doubles as the num pad with a toggle button).

The turbo button is in the middle of the 8-way arrow button cluster and doesn't do anything, though.

Sure did! The Turbo button allowed me to go from 6MHz on my '286 to 10MHz - turbo indeed!

My friend's father used to have something like this and I never knew what it was and neither did my friend. Well now I know.

Speaking of those turbo buttons...

Does anyone remember building machines in the i386 and i486 era where the cases came with LED displays for the system processor speed? They had a PCB and instructions on how to set the berg jumpers so the display would correctly display the cpu speed according to the turbo button position -

In on the 486 DX/33 would display 33 and out would display 8. On the DX/2 66 it was 16/66 (depending on the motherboard too). Later when CPU speed broke the 100 MHz barrier the displays had three significant digits but the first character was only two segments - capable of displaying a 1 only. :Q

I was picky too - some of the diagrams configured it so the 6's looked like b instead of 6 so I would correct that.
