Right, you have a few options - assuming we are talking an A1200 here,
1 - Soldering iron - there are a bunch of silver contacts on the motherboard
near the bottom left corner of the motherboard (assuming the parallel,
serial, mouse ports, etc. go along the top), you have to solder the jumper
attachments to two of these (can't remember which two, though.
2 - PowerFlyer - there is a connector on the board that sits on top of (i
think) the Gayle chip. This is nicely marked "Reset SW", or something.
3. The CC-Reset fix for the PCMCIA slot, which sits over the same chip. Only
really useful if you have a PCMCIA ethernet adapter.

On a similar subject, have Power/Elbox/whoever got an integrated version of
the PowerFlyer Gayle Chip cover, plus CC-Reset fix? I might be interested
in getting one.

Matthew.
