Has anyone ever wired up a reset button/switch for their IBM PCs? I find
myself powering down-then-up my 5150 three times a day when all it needs is a
hard reset to reboot a hung machine. I've searched the web and usenet archives
for such a design or specs but haven't found anything. If I could soldier a
few wires to a pushbutton, I feel like I would less harsh to the machine...
Or, does it not really matter? Is it not a big deal to power down, then power
up (after 5 second delay) a 5150 or 5160? I know IBM PCs were built well, but
I am unwilling to find out *how* well :)
