It would be much easier to persuade some kind person who is allowed
to enter the inner workings of the computer to make the adjustments
suggested by Aardvarko.

The only real scary thing is slowing down the Pentium's COMMAND.COM
with MOSLO and then having to type EXIT ( must be in upper case ) at
the DOS prompt to get your machine back from PC/XT speed to the
speed of lightning.

Anyway it was a relief to know you had the courage to drop to the
dark underworld of the DOS prompt and all the terrifying things
therein that do not obey mouse clicks.
