# High Speed Interface

Connect the HS-1 interface to a spare TS1000 to create a computing system that is quick and responsive. Fast mode flicker no longer occurs when entering program lines and data. D

System used direct memory access to copy the display file from a fast mode computer to a slow mode TS1000, which then produces the display. Vendor claimed a speed gain of 5.5 times faster than a single computer in slow mode.

Wilf Rigter attempted to [recreate the interface and documented it on his website](https://web.archive.org/web/20070808185324/http://www.user.dccnet.com/wrigter/index_files/HS2a.htm).
