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.
