whiteplanet Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 I am reading through the GS/OS Reference Manual and have stumbled across some interesting notes written by Apple. In Chapter 10 on Handling Interrupt Signals, if none of the interrupt handlers accepts a given interrupt, it becomes unclaimed. This can cause problems and the one that caught my attention is this: random transient phenomena such as cosmic ray or subatomic particle bombardmentWhat??? Is Apple serious?Has anyone have this happened to their IIGS?Or is it their sense of humour? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you have close to 7 million machines out there, it is a definite possibility. It would take place so fast you'd never know it happened. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
