Howzit!
For all of you looking for a way to disable control panel access,
I accidently found a solution. First, I am using a IIGS with ROM version
01. For some reason, doing a call to print the computer name ($FB60) will
disable the control panel until someone does a control-reset.
From basic: ]Call 64352
From the monitor: *FB60G
From assembler: JSR $FB60
Latas, Jack

This did indeed prevent me from getting into the control panel, but it also made my machine pretty much go bonkers. Had to reboot. On ROM 3 it just printed Apple IIgs at the top of the screen as expected, without preventing control panel access or messing up anything else. (Obviously, this is not a supported way to prevent control panel access.) -- --Dave Lyons, Apple Computer, Inc. | DAL Systems AppleLink--Apple Edition: DAVE.LYONS | P.O.
