I remember reading about a reset switch in one of the various c64
magazines earlier this year.  It was in response to an article which
mentioned shorting pins 1 and 3 of the I/O connector to cause a cold
restart by grounding the reset line.  This particular reset switch had a
diode, a couple resistors, and a cap or two.  The guy that sent it in
said that just shorting the reset line to ground could damage the 
computer.  Questions:

1) Has anyone had trouble with just shorting these two pins?  (outside
of shorting the wrong two together.)

2) Does anyone know what I am talking about?  (Do I?)

I think I've found the article the guy responded to.  It is in the Dec.
or Jan. Compute's Gazette in the Horizon 64 ( or 64 Horizon ) section.
I've looked through all of my other CGs and can't find the schematic
of the suped-up switch.  Thanks.
