the early macs
at least also have a built in ROM-Monitor :)
probably the later ones too, although I think that they stopped
including in the powermac series.
My B/W G3 still has the programmer's switch on the front
panel and I believe that the G4's we have at work still do as well.
I don't recall if the iMac's do or not. When pressed, it still drops
you to the '>' prompt but none of the manuals that ship with the
machines tell you anything about it. I've never been able to exit
back out of it without rebooting, nor have I actually gotten it to
show any of the info one generally does from a monitor program.
