Configure DDB, and see whether the hotkey will still work. If it doesn't, it's probably jamming the system with interrupts disabled. (You could hook a pushbutton to the IOCHCK signal on the ISA bus, which will generate an NMI. That should be a condition fatal enough to go into DDB.) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
