We have 3 Compaq DeskPro computers, an 8086, an 80286, and a 386-25.
One thing that we sorely miss is a reset switch, to keep from
powering the machine off/on when the software locks up.

Information on adding reset switch capability to standard IBM (or
clones) has been posted to the net in the past, but I have never
seen anything for Compaq machines.

Has anyone on the net successfully added a reset switch to any of the
three DeskPro models mentioned above?  If so, would you please share
how you did it?

Thanks in advance.
