Has anyone installed a real reset button on their ibmpc? If so, please send me a note and let me in on the details. Thanks! keith eriscon P.S. I'm looking for a HARDWARE reset. I already know about Control-Alt-Delete, but sometimes even that doesn't work. uucp: ...[!tektronix]!teklabs!keithe csnet: keithe@tek ARPAnet: keithe.tek@rand-relay

#R:teklabs:-267400:isrnix:9500017:000:559 isrnix!akp Dec 12 19:00:00 1983 Hard to say. Anybody know how the IBM manages to get itself going? Could there be a circuit invoked at power-on, which monitors the power supply until it levels out, and then kicks the "reset" line of the CPU? Then what would happen? Alternatively, this hypothetical circuit could force NOP's onto the data path until things have stabilized (enough for the CPU to work reliably), then interrupt the CPU and supply the starting address... Pretty complicated, getting one of those beasts up, isn't it? -- Allan Pratt ...decvax!ihnp4!iuvax!isrnix!akp
