John Brooks did it first, I put the code into one of my early projects too (ATLT). Basically you can modify the vector the system jumps to when you press oa-control-reset and do funky things (mine displayed some text saying how I had taken over the machine, hahaha, etc, etc,etc. Oh yah, some nice flashy colors). The machine state is very quirky though so you can't do a heckuva lot. I could not "trap" the vector into jumping back to my code, it would hang. The only problem with this is that its incompatible with Rom 03, the vector changed.
