1.0   Release Abstract

      This release allows a VS 6230 to perform like a VS 6230T for the
      evaluation period recorded on the diskette.  After this period,
      performance returns to its original state.


2.0   Pre-Requisites and Dependencies

2.1   Hardware Requirements

      VS 6230.

2.2   Software Requirements

      VS Operating System Series version 7.50.00 or later.


3.0   Restrictions and Special Considerations

      CP Microcode version 09.81.76 is functionally equivalent to version
      09.81.15.

      Turbo speed enhancement requires the system to be IPLed using a 4-digit
      date.  IPLing with a 2-digit date will produce no change in performance.


4.0   Enhancements

      None.


5.0   Problems Corrected

      None.


6.0   Known Anomalies

      None.

8.0   Installation Instructions

      1) With the system IPL'ed as is, run the installation procedure located
         on the installation diskette (File = TRYTURBO, Lib = INSTALL, Vol =
         TURBO).  This procedure uses the VS BACKUP utility to install the
         necessary file into the appropriate library on the IPL volume.  The
         file installed is:

      @MCCP11@  The CPU microcode is installed in library @SYSTEM@ on the

      ________
      "IPL" volume (as supplied to the installation procedure).  The existing
      @MCCP11@ is renamed to @CP11CPU if the file @CP11CPU does not exist.
      Otherwise, the existing @MCCP11@ is not saved.

      2) After the installation procedure has completed, re-IPL the system.

      3) Repeat the software upgrade procedure in step 1 for all alternate IPL
         volumes on the system.
