My cheap IBM XT clone does not have a reset button (like the Olivetti).
I'd like to install one without destroying the main board. Does anyone
know a save place to solder in some wires ? Or is it possible to install
something in memory which enables me to reset the machine when Ctrl-Alt-Del
doesn't work anymore ? (Which, of course, is the result of stupid programming)

Thanks in advance.

Please reply by email. I will a post a summary to the net.
