- Subject: New ROM SysAlert
-
- This is an INIT for the 3.2 System and the NEW ROMS only! It
- replaces the standard bomb box (which has two buttons) with a
- three button box that allows Resume, Restart, and Finder and
- instead of saying ID=2 it will print out a slightly more
- descriptive text, like "Odd Address Exception", for whatever that
- is worth.
-
- This one is not as nice as the one for the old ROMS since that
- also gave a register dump, but this has it's uses. The old ROM
- one would also appear if you pressed the Interrupt button. This
- one won't. Instead you get access to the mini-debugger where you
- can type SM F000 A9F4 and then G F000 to invoke the ExitToShell
- trap. This will almost always get you back to the Finder,
- Switcher, or Lightspeed Pascal, whichever was last running.
-
- I like these SysAlerts better than the Crashsaver type of
- applications because these boot automatically and are never
- accidentally forgotten.
-
- Enjoy,
- Jon
