Just find the address of the ROM, and then start at that address, and place 64k or 128k random characters, or plain zeros for that sake. This will surel y crash the machine if the ROM has been copied to RAM, but if the emulator runs using the real stuff, i.e. original (or fake) Macintosh ROMs, then this will do nothing. So just rewrite your program, and go for a clean kill on pirated macintosh ROMs. Povl H.
