[ ain't that line eater extinct yet? ]

At the Atari Show in London I talked to David Small, the father
of the Magic Sac macintosh emulator for the Atari ST.

On of the things he told me was that he hacked around in the
Mac SE roms and found some code that didn't make any sense.
He was told that that was a picture of the SE development
team. Apparently there was some space available in the roms to
pull such a joke.

1) Is that true?

2) Is there a way of letting that picture appear on the screen?
I have a Mac SE and would very much like to see the picture.
And I think others would be interested too. Best thing for
me would be a small application that would 'pull' the picture
out of the rom and dump it on disk/screen. I gave up programming
after dumping my Apple ][ :)
