	The V2.0 Janus software has a utility called PCHard which will
	reset the PC "most of the time".

	The only existing document is the A500/A2000 Tech Ref manual. This
	manual has a small section describing the way things used to work.
	only order it (available through CATS) if you need IO addresses or
	Hardware info. The software has all changed for V2.0. Once I get the
	new users manual done my task will be a Bridgeboard Tech Ref manual
	hopefully with schematics.
