RE: Please help with Omega Race CPU if you can

As mentioned, you can't disbale the wdog on Omega Race,
however, you can instruct the 9000 to ignore it.

IIRC, you press <SETUP>, followed by the <MORE> key.
Keep pressing <MORE> until the error you are seeing (act ln force)
is on the display. Then press <NO>, and make sure the state
changes on the disply. Then run your test again. (and it will stop on
your _next_ problem... :-/ )
