Is there a good substitute? I have acquired something called Bomb Shelter, which seems to have the same function. It works on my MacIIsi, but I don't use it anymore, since I have a debugger. It was written by Andrew Welch. >And, isn't it possible to get a programmer's switch for LC or IIsi? >My dealer say it isn't. Can the "Pkey INIT" help me out? (I don't have >access to any LC or IIsi to try it on at the moment.) (In case you didn't >know, Pkey is a nice little INIT that turns the start button in the corner >of the keyboard into an interrupt switch.) Two options. Beg borrow or steal a copy of Macsbug 6.2b1 or newer. I have been advised not to mail it to people. It's on AppleLink, so any dealer can get it. Whether they will or not is another story. The other option is ProgrammersKEY. I believe it is a newer version of the PKey you mentioned. It does work on a MacIIsi. I will send ProgrammersKEY and/or Bomb Shelter by mail, if requested. I also have the Think C source for Bomb Shelter as a seperate package I will send on request. > >Ingemar Ragnemalm >Dept. of Electrical Engineering >University of Linkoping, Sweden ingemar@isy.liu.se jim -- __ __ / o / Jim Budler jimb@silvlis.com | Proud / / /\/\ /__ Silvar-Lisco, Inc. +1.408.991.6115 | MacIIsi /__/ / / / /__/ 703 E.
