If you know where to find the printset for the 350 then please let me know.
In the absence of a printset i have been reverse engineering the schematic to work out the
cause of the resets, i am just having trouble tracing one possible path, and i am away all
week so can't look again until the weekend.
Thanks
Rob

Rob, you need to have the drawing for the PRO-350, and read it.? Reset
on the F11 chipset is generally part of
Pwr-OK? and if reset is bouncing likely power is NOT ok.?
FYI the 7201 is MPSC a dual multiprotocol serial chip not unlike the
Z80-SIO.? Likely the system wide reset
is coming from the power OK generation as you seeing hardware reset into
the MPSC.
Hint: the pro350 is basically an 11/23 in a different form factor.

I have been trying to
find what is driving this path in the logic and this chip was the only one I for which I
couldn't identify the pins, but it seems that from this datasheet
(https://datasheet4u.com/datasheet-pdf-file/1098405/NEC/UPD7201/1) they are all inputs and
not outputs. So I need to look again for an output pin that is driving this signal.

I have posted previously about a DEC Pro 350 I am
trying to get
working again. At the moment it seems to be constantly resetting the CPU.
I have traced one possible path for the cause of this back to a NEC
chip for which I cannot find a datasheet. It is a 40-pin DIP it is
marked "NEC Japan
8239K6 D7201C". All I have been able to find is more modern USB host
controllers.
Almost certainly a uPD7201 multi-protocol (asynchronous and
synchronous)
serial chip. I have an NEC data book with it in if all else fails but a google
search for 'uPD7201 datasheet' (no quotes) found sites with the data sheet
to download as a .pdf file.
Quite why that should reset the machine is beyond me....
