Be careful, I had a ROM01 GS at a knitting factory. It would NOT allow me to
OA-CTRL-ESC. Eventually by removing a super serial card in slot 3 controlling a
knitting machine multiplexer I got it to accept the command. I think the
multiplexer was issuing an interrupt dragging the buss down a causing the
machine to ignore OA-CTRL-ESC.
Just for everyones info. It made me scratch my head!
