Be warned that when you boot holding the "2", the Blizz is totally disabled, and the POST will take ages, so wait for a bit.


Don't ever use this if you use a PC keyboard on an EZ-Key style interface. Re-enabling the flash requires that you hold the keyboard reset for 10 seconds or so. The problem with the interface is that it only asserts the /KBRESET line for about a second or so - more than long enough to reset the system but not long enough to re-enable the card.

I found that out the hard way and had to attach a real A1200 keyboard back to the motherboard in order to do re-activate the card. A better solution (that I never got around to) would be to wire up the reset button to the test pads on the  motherboard that assert the /KBRESET
