Keywords: The blinkey light: What's it for?


		[A sacrificial token.....]

	I don't know what great internal significance the blinkey-boot-up
has, but it does mean *something*.

	The instructions that come with the Turbo-Amiga (CSA) say that
the blinkey-boot-up light should flash at a rate about half that of a
standard Amiga to indicate that the 68020 has assumed total control of
the Amiga's metabolism.

	Why a digital (beneficial) virus such as the 68020 should cause the
light to blink at half the rate escapes me, but......it KNOWS.
