Bombs; The Hard Disk Drive - Atari Faicon030 Owner's Manual

You may find that some older programs (especially games) do not run properly
with the Cache option turned on. If you think this may be the problem, make sure
the Cache option is off before running the program.

Bombs

Sometimes applications develop errors that are potentially damaging to the
computer's operating system. When such an error occurs, M ultiTOS detects the
error and terminates the program. In most cases, MultiTOS w i l l also clean up the
memory affected by the terminated program, and return to the desktop. However,
during extreme program fai lures, as a signal to you, M ultiTOS displays one or more
bombs across the screen and attempts to recover from the error.
To protect the computer' s operating system, i mmediately perform a keyboard cold­
boot when you see bombs displayed. If the problem recurs, discontinue using the
program.

Some symptoms i dentify the hard disk drive as the source of the problem. If you

Advanced Hard Disk Drive utilities.
