I would be interested in this too. Meanwhile, if it's a 386 there is a possible
software solution. Get VM-386 from IGC; it allows multiple virtual machines,
and you can reboot a virtual machine even if it's fairly badly hung (hit
SysReq and ask VM-386 to reboot it/kill it).

It's a nice package anyway....
