Hi all,

Anyone know of a convenient way of adding a reset button to the 8MHz version of the 5170 motherboard?

Cheers.

Phill.
 
1. Locate the 82284 clock generator.
2. Attach a wire to pin 11
3. Attach another wire to GND (pin 9 will do)
4. Connect a momentary-contact pushbutton between the two.
 
You can try a small (0.05 µF), but it may not be needed. Another approach might be to ground (through a pushbutton), the POWER GOOD line out of the PSU.
