[muglo] Re: Restarting Beige G3

 FYI 
I found that I had a problem on my G4 with both my mouse and keyboard. 

I had my mouse replaced twice and my keyboard once. 

Hope you still have a warranty or have Apple Care. 

Just a thought.

Beige G3s, two options: 
1. reset or programmer buttons are on back (one freezes the computer, the 
other restarts it); 

2. command-control-power should force a hard-restart (same effect as the 
reset button... it activates the same hardware interrupt). 

One way to check to see whether your computer is frozen is to type 
command-option-escape, or command-power. If that brings something up, you 
know it's just a software crash. 

PS What do you mean fails to respond? 

PSS unplugging/plugging in ADB devices does not "reset" them (technically 
the only ports on a pre-USB machine that are hot-pluggable (i.e. computer 
shouldn't be turn off) are the serial ports and audio ports).
