Try issuing interrupt 19H from an assembly routine. This is listed as the ROM-BIOS service interrupt to reboot. As for a serial port, you'll have to write a program which accepts commands over the serial port, and program it so that the computer reboots itself when it receives a certain command or value over the port.

I have a peice of software that does this, but it seems to hang on my AT&T 6300 if any TSR programs are installed. Greg

INT 19 isn't reliable. But the following IS on all clones I've tested (including the AT&T's): Write an assembly language routine that does a long jump to location F000:FFF0 It will reboot your system.

I tried it too, and it didn't work on my clone. I also had TSR's installed. It did try to boot, because it spun the drive like it does before booting. There's more to it than just the int call I guess.

This thread has gone on for so long that I can't help but wonder if my posting of uuencoded "reboot.arc" got out. Would someone confirm receipt of this, please?
