the no smoking sign means OS X needs to be reinstalled because some file has broke. As for the G4. Put that into target disk mode and erase the hard drive(of course taking your fi…

Well my G4 is booting into some strange command prompt and I have no idea why or how to fix it. When I try to boot from a cd it just has the little spining circle thing under the a…

Do you know what hardware this is? I only have a IIgs, so I suppose that is incorporated in the Mega II, but what about on the older models?

Soft switches have a hardware component: there is circuitry that reacts to particular address lines being tickled. That's why things like peek can affect them from BASIC.
