+InsaneMultitasker Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 I bought a square, red button that I mounted next to the letter "A". The switch itself required more pressure than a typist would apply, so the potential for accidental reset was very low. Since it also sat a bit lower than the key itself, it was not in the way. I don't have that keyboard anymore but I do have a similar reset function in place for my Geneve that is wired to the PC Tower's reset button.

+Schmitzi Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Hey that's cool. I've never seen that solution before. ..... maybe because it is "ignition" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After many years of using the GROM reset method, I've never meet the problem you say. Edited June 26, 2015 by fabrice montupet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+OLD CS1 Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 There was a circuit for the Commodore 64 which used triggered a reset if you held the RESTORE key down for a few seconds. I imagine something like that for our TI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 There was a circuit for the Commodore 64 which used triggered a reset if you held the RESTORE key down for a few seconds. I imagine something like that for our TI. Not exactly the same, but similar. Of all the solutions I've seen, I like prefer direct to CPU method the best, but with a twist. Instead of installing a single button for a single function, you would install a single PS/2 connector. This way supplies not only a reset button, but a load interrupt button among other things.

Shift838 Posted June 28, 2015 Author Share Posted June 28, 2015 I mounted my reset switch on the left side of the console so I wouldn't accidentally hit it. It's also a relatively flat switch, so it's not real obnoxious. And it's what Radio Shack had that day. I also have an observation about the grom port reset switch. I used that method for a while, but it wouldn't reset the console on real severe lockups, I would sometimes have to power-cycle to get back in operation. The 9900 pin 6 method works without fail. Gazoo I like this spot for the reset button and it's almost flush. Maybe I will get one of those cool illuminated ones to try out.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Gazoo, In your photo above, I'm curious, what are you using to raise your P-Box to the perfect height? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I had my PBOX setup like this I had some older 7.62x51 ammo plastic boxes I stacked 2 and used I think 8 to get a solid base and it brought it up perfectly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
