Per the Wiki: https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/C64_MiSTer
Turbo modes
C128 mode: this is C128 compatible turbo mode available in C64 mode on Commodore 128 and can be controlled from software, so games written with this turbo mode support will take advantage of this.

Smart mode: In this mode any access to disk will disable turbo mode for short time enough to finish disk operations, thus you will have turbo mode without loosing disk operations.

Thanks for that, when I looked at the wiki it wasn't updated.

This core just keeps getting better and better.
