From: L. Brett Glass <GLASS@SU-SIERRA.ARPA> I was programming with a friend a couple of nights ago, and ran into a bug in the IBM assembler. It didn't assemble the offset for a jump properly and sent the uP off into never-never land. What's worse, it must have hit just the wrong address somewhere, because the screen started to display strange patterns and then went blank -- it has not come alive again since. I understand some screen blanking programs have been known to do the same thing. Assuming it's the same bug, what happened and what does it take to bring the monitor back to life? --Brett Glass
