I am posting this for my roommate. Ray -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Concerning installing a reset switch in a C-64: Many C-64's that I have seen have a very convenient "feature" making it easy to add a reset switch with a minimum of fiddling. Pin 1 of the User Port is ground, while Pin 3 is Reset. They are the farthest right and 3rd farthest to the right pins looking down on the User Port. The traces leading to the port for these two pins often have small holes in them, making it very easy to securely solder the leads of a reset switch to the board. I used a RS 275-1547A mini pushbutton switch (available in red or black, but only in a package of 4-- $2.69). I mounted the switch in the top half of the back of the case, within easy reach but hard to bump accidently. Hope this helps... Kent Sullivan
