there are two ways to hook up a reset to your c-64
The best, is to wire pin 2 and pin 6 of the disk drive port on the
serial I/O  If you are looking at the back of the c-64
		
	      5	/   _  \ 1
		    6
		4 |   | 2
		    |
		    3

hook an always open switch to those two pins.  
if you do not wish to solder a switch some stores carry a small box
that plugs into the drive port and the drive cord into it.
It has a push button switch to reset.  (this does exactly the same
thing.)  For about 10 bucks as apossed to $.18 for the switch at
Radio-Shack

Another way and i do not recomend this is to put a reset switch on
the power supply-- This can be dangerous if not done proporly, so I
will not mention it.

the advantage to the first way is if you are working on assembly
code and you lock up the computer, you can reset and the code is
still in memory, just basic is wiped out.

This is great for listening to "30120 music"

Good luck,
