Yes, my VAXstation 4000/VLC did that, I was just looking at it this evening, to figure out the specs of the power supply in case I might re-use it. I would like the XO to drop back to firmware or power off in response to halt. I don't plan to change this myself though. -- James Cameron http://quozl.linux.org.au/ _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
