I changed the wiring in my clone to let the keyboard lock switch
act as reset switch. Advantages: you think twice before resetting,
can't do it by accident, and Messy-dos people, who are used to use
reset as much as enter, don't kill the system :-)

At the same time, I rewired the 'TURBO' switch to disable the speaker.
This is also nice and *very quiet* :-) Recommended!

BTW: about the /etc/rc question some time ago: SCO has a fix for that
and all is well now. Thanks for everybody who responded!
