I know that when I had my SE, I could type G 409b24 in the monitor if I got a sysbomb and that would SOMETIMES exit me to the Finder so that I could restart properly. Is there a similar address that will work on my SE/30? Thanks in advance James.Osborne@mac.dartmouth.edu

My question about the minidebugger relates to the old "slide show" of the SE development team... is it still around in the ROM? Anyone know the code? For that matter, what's the code for the old SE? I saw it in Macworld a long ago, at a time when I didn't have access to an SE. Since then, I *have* checked all my back issues, but haven't been able to locate it. OK, I'll admit it, I'm a semi-proud owner. I got it today, and the screen is bowed in the top right corner, and pinched in the lower left corner. Exchange time! Life is rough in 4 Meg land. As long as I'm griping, what do I have to do to convince CrystalQuest 2.2 that I DON'T have ColorQuickDraw? It's driving me crazy!

Internally, Macs provide a way to access most of their built-in subroutines (the famous Toolbox + OS Routines) that remains constant despite revisions and updates to the ROMs (which entail moving the location, e. g. 409b24, of subroutines). On *any* Mac, entering 'SM 0 A9F4' will set memory location $00 to $A9F4, the magic trap code to invoke the _ExitToShell subroutine. Then you just type "G 0" to begin executing at that memory location and you should, provided the crash was not *too* fatal, wind up back in the Finder. Sorry to be so wordy. Don't know what level of detail you wanted. -- _ _|\____ Nick Jackiw | Visual Geometry Project | Math Department / /_/ O> \ ------------+-------------------------+ Swarthmore College | O> | 215-328-8225| jackiw@cs.swarthmore.edu| Swarthmore PA 19081 \_Guernica_/ ------------+-------------------------+ USA
