Dear fellow CBM users,

Recently I upgraded my c64 with a reset button.
I felt that it was not a good idea to power down/power up
my favorite toy because in the long run this will damage
precious circuits inside.
I even did not have to drill a hole in the case because
I used a spare outlet of the 5-pole DIN plug at the back.
(the audio in pin)
If somebody is interested in this small surgery (only a
switch and a wire is necessary) please let me know, then
details will follow.

If its not too much trouble then post it to the net. We could always
use something to liven up the net!
