[comp.sys.atari.st] MEANING OF DESKTOP BOMBS

lyn.ibson@canremote.uucp (LYN IBSON) (02/06/90)

The following was posted (somewhere? sometime?) by Darryl May, an 
Atari Tech Specialist, "an official list of errors that can appear" 
while operating the ST.  First is a list of bombs (errors from the
68000 processor) then a list GEM error messages.
   (What you see is what you get; I don't understand a word of this.)
