This program I produced as an exercise in assembler, allocating traps,
running in Supervisor mode, and changing the Kickstart on my 1000. I tried
using the Amiga's Kickstart routines, but they did not seem to work, I kept
on visting the Guru. If any one has a program using the Amiga's Kickstart
routines, I would be interested in see it,
How the program works:
I use the 68000 RESET instuction (which is a Supervisor mode instrustion
only) which does all sorts of nasty things to the machine one of which is the
screen goes blank.
How to use the program:
The program runs from the CLI or Workbench (thanks to John Mathews for
teaching me some basics on ICONS). Just type in CRASH from CLI or double
click the ICON ( ICON form the game Chain Reaction, author unknown, thanks
to Steve Vermeulen for producing a program called SIT which changes the tool
type of a ICON) and the screen will go blank, then give the three fingure
salute ( Control, Amiga, Amiga ) and you shouid have the Kickstart requester
on your machine if it is a 1000, on 500, 2000 I do not know what happens.
If anyone has an idea on how to bring up the Kickstart requester automaticaly
could you please let me know.
