[comp.sys.mac.misc] Hidden Pictures in Mac ROMs??

derosa@motcid.UUCP (John DeRosa) (10/17/90)

I know that there is a way to display a hidden picture that is
contained in the ROMs of various Macintosh's.  How to do this
on a IIci is shown in an accompanying article.

I know that it can be done in an SE by using the monitor.  You 
end up getting a slide show of three pictures.  Does anyone
remember how exactly to do this?

Are there similar pictures within the other Macintosh's in 
the product family?

BTW, the inside of the Mac Plus (and possibly earlier units)
contains the signatures of all the people involved in the 
production of this Mac.  They are part of the mold for the 
case and can be seen if you crack the case and look inside.

To see the pictures on the SE:
   Hit the interrupt button on the programmers' switch, which will drop you
into the ROM debugger.

Then type: G 41D89A

How about hidden picture in early MacDraw or MacWrite II's?  I haven't seen it
but a local Mac pro says hold down space-tab-shift and select "About".

  A related thing, though not exactly a picture...take WriteNow, bring
up the about-box, and option-click in it.  It gives you a cute list of
acknowledgements...very pretty.  (Version 2.0 of WN if I recall.)

I just tried this with Macwrite II on a MacIIcx and nothing happened.

Cheers,

I think you mean MacPaint II. It's here, but apparently Apple caught it before
many shipped. Also, you don't need the space (Mac the Knife said you did,
but was wrong for once)

My MacPaint porgram shows a zebra-striped woman who appears to be nude when I
use tab-shift and select "about", in the place where the free memory shows up
otherwise.

I don't know how well this is known, but here goes...

In the Mac SE and SE/30 machines you can get to a slide show of the developers
using these steps:

push the programmer's interrupt switch (the one in the back)

at the ">" prompt type: G 41D89A <return>

Sit back and enjoy the slide show. The pictures will continue to display in 
a round-robin order until you restart your Mac. Therefore, make sure you've 
saved whatever you're doing before you try this.
