- !Part One - How to crash a RAVICS BBS!
- +------------------------------------+
-
- Try to chat with the sysop. If it starts to say "Attemp #1" and so on, then
- just hit 'C' >VERY< fast a few hundred times. After it pages the sysop about 30
- times it will give an out of memory error in such and such a line.

- ! Part Two - How to crash an IIBBS !
- +------------------------------------+
-
- This will only work if the sysop is running either an un-modified version of
- IIBBS, or he has the very first version. Log on as a new user. Log off and
- then log on again as a new user. Then log off and try to log on again as the
- SECOND new user you logged in as. In the old version, the BBS dosn't initialize
- the drive after writing to the relative file. Therefore, when you try to log in
- as the second new user, it will try to read past the bad position but will never
- find it. This will leave his drive spinning until he can come in and reset the
- system. If it dosn't work the first time try again with two more new users, and
- so on. The system will just sit there send ing a carrier to you. When the
- drive is left spinning it will heat up the metal frame in inside of the 1541
- drive. This will cause the readwwrite head to be knocked out of alignment,
- costing the sysop a mere $45...

- !Part 3 - How to crash a 64 Exchange !
- +------------------------------------+
-
- Go into the download section and start to download a file. When it is ready
- to send (it should say 'A to abort, B to change block size. Ready to send')
- then select B and enter '99e99' when it asks for the new block size (99e99 is a
- number bigger than the computer can accept). This will only work on older
- versions of 64 Exchange.
