   I haven't read this news group in a while, so my apologies if this has 
been covered before.

   I have a new Mac-IIsi.  The Programmer Switches are defined as follows:
      Reset = Command+Control+PowerOn
      Interrupt = Command+PowerOn

   The Reset works fine, and causes a reboot of the Mac-IIsi (6.0.7).

   The Interrupt doesn't work at all.  I expected to get to MacsBug 6.1, 
but nothing happened at all, not even the window you get without MacsBug.

   Is there a later release of MacsBug?  I got mine from APDA less than 
two months ago.  I did see a reference to a 6.2 on this bulletin board; is 
it generally available?  Is this a known hardware problem?

   Should this be crossposted to comp.sys.mac.miscellaneous?
