Okay Emax hackers, ever need to reboot your Emax I SE/HD running Plus OS 1.0? Simply do the following, which will trigger a bug which will reboot your Emax: 1) Master-4 (Erase All) - Create Default Preset? - Answer NO. 2) Preset Management-4 (Erase Preset) Boom! Your Emax will reboot. (I realize you can also just hit Preset-Management-4 until all presets are gone and then one more time to cause the reboot.) I find this handy when messing with media and devices on the SCSI bus (for testing boot-ability, etc.). It also might save the power supply to not have to turn the whole unit off/on to reboot. Hope someone finds this handy. Bonus points to anyone who knows of a certain "Easter egg" in the OS (besides the obvious Bird Run). :-) -Dave
