[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Reset an AT via kbd controller

lloyd@ficc.ferranti.com (greg lloyd) (05/25/90)

Sorry if this has been discussed before.

Is is possible to cause an AT compatable with the C&T chipset to perform
a reset by poking at the keyboard controller?  I think I remember reading
that one of the I/O lines from the keyboard controller is routed to the
reset logic. I know that one of the lines is used for turbo mode switching.

I have a friend that is writing code that runs in protected mode and wants
a fast way to reboot PC-DOS from his software.

Thanks in advance.
