Message-ID: <870057@hpcilzb.HP.COM> Date: Thu, 3-Dec-87 08:53:18 EST Article-I.D.: hpcilzb.870057 Posted: Thu Dec 3 08:53:18 1987 Date-Received: Thu, 10-Dec-87 03:18:39 EST Organization: Hewlett Packard DTC Lines: 18 Has anyone seen the article on p22 of the Dec. '87 IEEE "Spectrum"? Supposedly it is possible for a buggy program to burn out a flyback transformer?!? The example they give is with an IBM PC..., is this a problem with a Mac SE HD20 also? I have crashed my SE pretty hard while debugging some LSC programs (e.g., the bomb box doesn't show up, but the screen gets spastic and starts making loud noises). Am I treading on dangerous ground here? -Ted ********************************************* Ted Johnson Hewlett-Packard, Design Technology Center Santa Clara, CA (408)553-3555 UUCP: ...hplabs!hpcea!hpcilzb!tedj *********************************************
