[comp.sys.amiga] Amiga Developers' Hack?

Forgive me if this is old news, but...

According to an article in the Computer section of the Guardian newspaper
yesterday, you get interesting (and non-dangerous) results if (assuming
your hands are big enough) you hold down both shift keys, both alt keys,
and hit a function key.  F10 is mentioned particularly.

Even more interesting results are said to be obtained if you hold down the
5 keys and eject the disk. 'This operation requires two people, or one
person with three hands.'

No information is given as to whether the result depends on ROM/OS version
(not that I know enough about Amigas to know whether that's a sensible
qualification to add).

Cheers, Paul

I'll add that the article also included info about the Apple MAC SE which I
have tried and can verify.  (On the off chance that any Mac SE owners watch
this group, it's

   Press the debug (rear) button on the programmer's break switch (which
   you must have fitted to the machine) and give the command G 41D89A
