Re: Drive Interrupt button using Hercules?

If the I command won't cause the breaking of an active CCW for a device, what is the proper method for doing it?
I know with real iroon on a 3350 device, I was able to break an active CCW chain (in a loop).? Given (I thought Hercules reproduces real iron) what would be the equivalent?
Thank you.

Attention --- *IF* it were possible of course (which it's not because the device is still busy; you can only generate an attention interrupt for idle devices).
(And the command does NOT need to be capitalized either. A simple "i <devnum>" is all that is needed. It can be capitalized if you want to enter the command that way (I think), but it's certainly not necessary.)

Nope. Not possible. Attention interrupts cannot be generated for devices that are still busy executing an I/O. Only idle devices can have an attention interrupt generated for them via the "i" command.
