Yes, it was called the programmer's switch. One button triggered a non-maskable interrupt (NMI, useful for debugging), and the other issued a hard reset to the microprocessor (useful for giving up after unrecoverable errors). Neither was anything like the Power key, or the Eject button on Duo Docks that would shut down first. Josh -- -- ----- You received this message because you are a member of the Vintage Macs group.
