I assume you're talking about the reset issue? Well, the whole comupter locks on pressing the reset button (as connected to the Flyer).
I get an obvious IDE reset occur (drives flash lights and show brief disk activity), but the computer doesn't reset.

Ah, this is software lock up issue then... Well, basically when this does happen everything totally locks up. The mouse pointer freezes.
I still think it is a WarpOS issue as I can't think of any other explanation, and seeing as it happens more often when I use something that uses WarpOS, then...
