I would like to install a 'reset' buttom for my IBM XT, and was 
wondering if anyone has done this successfully, and if so, how
they accomplished it.  
From looking at the Technical Reference manual, it seems that the
'power good' line could be used, hooking up a single pull single 
throw momentary switch to the line, and maybe using a capicator
as a debouncer. 

In general:
   Is there anything I should be especially careful of?
   Any unseen dangers?

					     Thanks in advance
