I know that Macintosh SE 1/20 is quite old but I think that this is the right place to post. Otherwise, please tell me...
As you know the SE series have two little buttons on their motherboard that when pressed either load the debugger program or reset the computer. The "programmer's button" is a small plastic piece with two shafts that is inserted into the ventilation slots. Here is a photo of the button already mounted on the Macintosh:
I got one to be able to reset the Mac without having to press the main power switch. In addition to the practical reset button, the second button loads the debugger and allows access to an easter egg that shows the photos of the Macintosh development team. Theoretically the button is pressed and a Finder error message appears on the screen and when you press ENTER a debugger window appears to enter commands.
Entering the string "D 4189A" the photos should come out but in my case I could not because the only time that the window was shown I wrote the string but when I hit enter the Finder error message came out again.
After several attempts the debugger window has not come out again. If I press the button for a couple of seconds the Mac freezes and does nothing, if I make a longer press the Finder error message appears but it loops and it stays there. I have seen a couple of videos and explanations on the Internet but I still could not get it.
Any ideas?
