My brother has an Amiga 500, and he has one odd pinball game which just starts playing digitized laughing if Ctrl-Amiga-Amiga (the amiga Ctrl-Alt-Del) is pressed. When one turns the machine off, waits around 20 secs and turns it again on..the screen is gone but the laughing continues. Only over 30 secs seems to be enough to clear the machine completely.. --Kauto -- ****************** Kauto Huopio (huo...@kannel.lut.fi) ********************** *US Mail: Kauto Huopio, Punkkerikatu 1 A 10, SF-53850 Lappeenranta, Finland * *****************************************************************************
