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. Happy Hunting Mike Nelson AT&T Bell Labs ihuxf!cuda
