Error colors for Amiga boot (fwd)
My excellent authority, Jim Cooper, forwarded the following information to
me from the Commodore archives at BIX. Note that the descriptions of the
colors do not attempt to diagnose the reason for the fault, only that the
fault was detected for some reason.
These colors are valid for all versions of AmigaDOS since 1.3. However,
there were several more colors in 1.3 than there are with anything after
2.x. The colors below are common for all versions.
I will follow up soon with the complete information from the undocumented
RAMSEY feature as soon as I can get it all.
