# POKE 65495,0 let the processor double its ROM access speed. This accelerated the ROM-resident BASIC interpreter, but temporarily disabled correct functioning of the cassette/printer ports. Manufacturing variances meant that not all Dragons were able to function at this higher speed, and use of this POKE could cause some units to crash or run highly unstable, though with no permanent damage. POKE 65494,0 returned the speed to normal.
# POKE 113,18 would cause the computer to perform a warm start.
