Hello, all. Here are three short questions. If anyone knows the answer to any of these, please email me a response. Thank you. 1. On the Amiga 1000, when you first turn on the computer and upon reboot, is there some sound that the computer makes? In general, how is the screen display/sound on an Amiga 1000 at bootup different than the A500 or A2000? I know, of course, that the 1000 uses a disk for Kickstart, but being a fairly new A2000 owner, I have never seen an Amiga 1000.(*Gasp!*) 2. On Amigas in general, are there any secrets in the chips? I.E. Are there developer names or something else hidden in ROM somewhere? I saw a program for a certain fruit company's computer that displayed a black and white graphic of the original developers/programmers of that computer. I was under the impression that this picture was in the ROMs. 3. On Amigas, is there any PD program that will stop the incessant clicking from an empty drive? Preferably, this program would silence the drive, but also recognize a disk inserted. I know the non-commercial program TurboBackup does something like this. I want a program that will quiet the drive, but allow use of it if a disk is inserted. Thank you for any answers, and please email them.
