Try shift-shift-alt-alt-fnkey.  At least on 1.2, you get some interesting
messages and an orange flash (from a DisplayBeep() no doubt).  There is also
another one dealing with popping out the df0: disk, and after that holding
the left mouse button down on the drag bar of the WorkBench screen and
reinserting the disk to get yet another message, but I can't remember exactly
how that one goes (the first time I tried it, it was like a freaking game of
"Twister"!).  Oh -- and fnkey == { F1, F2, F3, etc. } on the keyboard.
