Yes, it was called the programmer's switch. One button triggered a non-maskable interrupt (NMI, useful for debugging), and the other issued a hard reset to the microprocessor (useful for giving up after unrecoverable errors). Neither was anything like the Power key, or the Eject button on Duo Docks that would shut down first. Josh -- -- - You received this message because you are a member of the Vintage Macs group.

Macintosh SE keyboard power button?
There is an old add-on power strip called “PowerKey” that allows you to use the power button on the old compact Macs using ADB keyboards (SE, SE/30, Classic, Classic II) and the early LC, LCII & LC III Macs. It also lets you turn off the computer from the “shut down” command. I still have one packed away somewhere if anyone is interested in that kind of functionality.

Re: Macintosh SE keyboard power button?
I think it will bring up a dialog to confirm shutdown when pressed while running, at least for some versions of the OS. It does nothing when the computer is off. in macs with soft start power supplies it starts the computer up.

The Macintosh SE keyboard has a power button on it. Does this button have any functionality, it doesn't seem to do anything when pressed (whether or not the system is on or off.) -- -- - You received this message because you are a member of the Vintage Macs group.
