If you hold down the backspace key DURING a warmstart, it will prevent all the libraries from attaching themselves. This is a great way to keep a library in Port 1 or Port 2 from taking over your 50g, after which you can delete it using the FILER.

The whole thing makes sense to me now ... it took a Catholic priest to help perform exorcism of evil software that took over a machine!!!

So we will unfortunately never know if it was Joe’s method or Namir’s priest that helped to get the 50G to normal life.
Next time anyone has to make the same, do both manipulation and prayer!
