My board occasionally gets into a stuck state, where "reset" fails to
restart things.
When it is in this state, the LED's are out and the CPU is stopped
with /rdy high. It appears to stop in a write to the AIC6250 or at
least with /scsi selected. I've measured the signals around the WAIT
PAL a DVM which is not the most appropriate instrument, but its the
best I have at home.

* I measure an intermediate voltage so I presume there is clock present.
This fault is difficult to reproduce. This state is *after* I have pressed
reset, however, reset normally does the write thing. Is there some flip
flop somewhere which should be reset and isn't? I have no idea if this is
a design fault or a fault on my particular board.
