Hello!I am sure many people will have faced this:Let's say that you have your computer working and that accidentally you press the 3 button combination that resets amiga.(for a million of reasons!)

1)Is there a hardware modification that can block or disable reset ?Is there a software that could stop reset from happening?

Is there a utility that could make a towerized amiga switch off like the pc's do?

2)off topic but is there a pc program or utility that could create a ram disk like the amiga has?Or a rad disk that could preserve the contents when i reboot? (i doubt the second could happen,but you never know!).

3)off topic again:I am thinking of buying a classic ppc phase 5 card and a tower to have an amiga os 4.0 machine.
What is the maximum ammount of ram that a classic ppc machine can have and that machine is :1200 ppc 603 phase 5.If it is only 256 it's not much compared to the amiga one systems having so much ram!(and again in modern times the more ram the better,256 mbytes of ram is so little for today standars even for amiga os 4 and amiga).

Thank you!


 1) No chance! The Amiga "soft" reset is made by hardware...:crazy: But you can make a hardware device to shut down the Amiga, if it uses an ATX PSU (look on Aminet).

 2) You can create a sort of RAD: device on winblows, called ramdisk (since DOS4.11...), just toss it on config.sys (even on XP!) :lol:

 3) Maximum in a BPPC is 256Mb!
Goodbye people.

I\'ll pop on from time to time, RL is acting up.
