Hello Dear Forum
I reverse engineered how the IIci easter egg image is stored in ROM and created a Python script that extracts the image from ROM files.
I ran it over a bunch of Macintosh ROMs to see if there are other, yet unknown, easter egg images.
Apart from the already known easter egg image "Regin of Terror" on the Quadra 700/900/950, I found an image on the Centris and Quadra 610/650. The image unfortunatley is a bit lame, as it only contains text, but as far as I can tell it is not online documented and I guess threfore a "discovery".
I think the easter is triggered by holding down ESC + l + f + w on boot.
(Similar as the other Quadra easter eggs that are triggered by holding down ESC + s + e + t on boot.)
Now I wanted to ask the forum members that own a Quadra/Centris 610/650 to try out the easter egg to confirm my assumptions.
Thanks for your help!
PS: I want to do a write up later on of the process I went through with reverse engineering.
