The Copper is restarted at each vertical blanking, forcing it to reload the command ''COPLC//n//'' points to.

 Copper can call the CPU's attention by filing an interrupt request in ''INTREQ''. It can also move data into ''COPLC//n//'' to form a loop. To stop, Copper can either wait for the impossible, or turn its own access to DMA off. Copper can call the CPU's attention by filing an interrupt request in ''INTREQ''.
