tHE rESET cIRCUIT

tHE OUTPUT OF THE EXCLUSIVE 'OR' GATE ud3 PIN 6 WILL BE "LOW" UNTIL c46 HAS CHARGED THROUGH r25. oNCE THE VOLTAGE ACROSS c46 REACHES 2 VOLTS, THE OUTPUT OF ud3 PIN 6 WILL GO "HIGH". tHIS OCCURS WHEN THE DISK IS POWERED ON, OR A RESET PULSE IS GENERATED BY A DEVICE CONNECTED TO THE SERIAL BUS. tHE RESET PULSE ON THE SERIAL BUS INTERFACE IS INPUT ON, PIN 6 OF p2 OR p3. tHIS "LOW" TO "HIGH" GOING PULSE ON PIN 6 OF ud3 IS INPUT TO THE MICROPROCESSORS RESET INTERRUPT INPUT. tHIS CAUSES A RESTART ON RESET ROUTINE TO BE EXECUTED GIVING CONTROL OF THE DISK DRIVE OPERATION TO THE dISK oPERATING sYSTEM (dos).
