I've built lots of systems and installed the reset switch by putting
a momentary-closure button wired between the "Power Good" wire and
ground.  The "Power Good" line is, in the AT and 386AT Clones I
built, the first wire in the motherboard power connector, closest to
the rear-panel of the machine.
