I have a couple of questions about the IIsi:
1. Where is the programmers switch? Seems to me there isn't one.
What do I do if I need to break out to a debugger?
2. Anyone know what the specs are the the 80MB hard drive Apple uses?
Like seek time and mean time to failure?
Thanks,
Steve

No programmer's switch - instead there's a "magic key sequence" that Apple claims will work through the worst crashes. <chuckle> (No, I don't know the sequence offhand.

"Control-Command-Power" resets the box when it's hung (it really works!). The "Programmer's Interrupt" is supposed to be either Command-Power or Control-Power, I don't remember which. Anyway, all-in-all, I'm real pleased with my IIsi! -- Jeff Jones easy: jcj@{ropes,rlgvax}.opcr.icl.com [Go Cubs!] ICL Inc. hard: uunet!rlgvax!jcj [Next Year!] 11490 Commerce Park Drive, Reston, VA 22091 "An explosion is an explosion, no matter how it is achieved." --- quote from rec.pyrotechnics

It's supposed to be Command-Power, but that doesn't matter because it doesn't work anyway. As reported in MacWeek and as tried in several dealers, after my IIsi didn't have it. I use an Fkey to get to the debugger, but that doesn't work through a freeze. >Anyway, all-in-all, I'm real pleased with my IIsi! I'm pleased too, but so far there has been a massive non-response from Apple to this particular question on every bulletin board where I've seen the question asked. >-- >Jeff Jones easy: jcj@{ropes,rlgvax}.opcr.icl.com [Go Cubs!] jim -- __ __ / o / Jim Budler jimb@silvlis.com | Proud / / /\/\ /__ Silvar-Lisco, Inc. +1.408.991.6115 | MacIIsi /__/ / / / /__/ 703 E.

My si works great regarding the reset. Command-Control-Power is the sequence. It's worked through every crash I've had (which is not many - a great relief). Cheers! Michael -- Michael McDaniel mdm@dartmouth.edu -- Michael McDaniel mdm@dartmouth.edu
