- More Crash Techniques from Chapter 11 of the F-PC user manual
-
- Type " -1 @ ". It will crash the AT system. However, AT can still be
- rebooted by Ctrl- Alt-Del. It does not affect PC or XT.
-
- Type " -1 ! ". It will crash the AT system for good. You will have to
- recycle power, if you don't have that hardware reset button on your
- computer.
-
- Type " >R ". It works every time.
-
- Store anything into your dictionary in the Code Segment. You can use !,
- but that's not bold enough. Use ERASE, FILL, BLANK, or CMOVE.
-
- Store anything into the DOS area below the Code Segment. It will
- probably not affect F- PC. However, wait until you say 'BYE'. Ms. DOS
- will lay the computer down flat.
-
- Store anything into the dictionary in the Head Segment. F-PC will
- still say 'ok', but it will not recognized words you type in. You will
- get the 'What?' message.
-
- Store anything into the dictionary in the List Segment.
-
- Do a " 0 0 DO ... LOOP ". If you have anything useful in this loop,
- F-PC will spend a long, long time doing it for you. You might just as
- well assume the system crashed and do a reset. (You can do a warm
- restart by pressing the Control-Break key.)
-
- Build a large loop without balancing the stacks inside the loop.
-
- Print a binary file on your printer. You may not totally crash the
- computer, but a bucketful of paper shooting through the printer at 10
- miles per hour is an impressive sight.
-
- Do a " TYPE " without parameters.
