RV> Hola All!
 RV> Does anybody know how to produce a reset by software? The

 RV> cout<<"Please press the reset button";
 RV> ... but it is not satisfactory (sometimes works but 
 RV> sometimes the user don't want to press the button).
This may be a bit off-topic since it is assembly language, but this
is in SNIPPETS (reboot.asm)
