This article has appeared on our local BBS, also - and was even uploaded
to CompuServe recently.

The information was taken from an article I did for the TRANSACTOR
around the end of 1986.  I was not on Usenet at the time, but a friend was
recording the messages on disk, and I gleaned much of the material about the
colors from the discussions here.  I especially remember input from Hans
Hansen, to whom I should have given credit in the article.  I apologize.

The information about the keyboard startup routines was buried in very
small print in the back of the Amiga Hardware Reference Manual, and I had 
not seen that anywhere else.    

I'm reasonably sure that the information is correct, else I would not have
submitted it to TRANSACTOR.  I cannot, however, take credit for the 
spelling, which I believe to belong to Roy and to Robert.  They used the
information from TRANSACTOR, but rewrote all of the connecting material
themselves.
