Or you could just do edit disk/startup on another computer, and put it into the drive and reboot the computer. Tadah.

It returns true or false depending on whether the terminal supports colour, hence allowing you to detect "basic" computers.

How to recreate:

Put that in the startup file of a disk, and you're good to go!

Then you basically lost the machine.

Unless you can use computers inside a disk drive to edit the files.
