I've sent the data sheet by private e-mail.

Have you looked at the Pro380 printset on bitsavers? The reset input on the J11
chip  in that machine comes from the DCOK pin on the power supply (Pin 1 of
the PSU connector). It's also buffered by an 8640 for other bits of
the systen. I
would not be surprised if the Pro 350 is similar.

Are you_sure_ the DCOK pin on the power supply is stable and not
oscillating?
