I just got a PS/2 system to use for writing some systems type software. The code I will be writing will tend to crash the machine a lot. I was wondering if anyone knew of a source of "reset" switches for the MCA machines. I am not a hardware hack, but I can locate pins on a bus or chip. Thanks for the help. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - I program ... therefore I am. John Lefor University of Rochester Dept of E.

Get VM-386 from IGC; it allows multiple virtual machines, and you can reboot a virtual machine even if it's fairly badly hung (hit SysReq and ask VM-386 to reboot it/kill it). It's a nice package anyway.... -- ---------------------+----------------------------------------------------- Bob Eager | University of Kent at Canterbury rde@ukc.ac.uk | +44 227 764000 ext 7589 ---------------------+----------------------------------------------------- *** NB *** Do NOT use the return path in the article header *************** ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
